Ethiopia Organic Guji Benti Neka G2 Washed

Beans are bagged into 1 and 5-pound bags. Price is Per Pound

This bright Ethiopian green coffee from Benti Neka is rare for being certified organic. Although most Ethiopian farmers naturally engage in organic farming, few go through the formal certification process.

Benti Neka, located in West Guji, is a washing station that specializes in washed coffee. Ripe, sorted cherries from farms at elevations of 1,900 to 2,200 masl are pulped using a disc pulper and fermented in cement tanks for 36 to 48 hours to remove mucilage. The pulped coffee is then dried for seven to nine days. Once the parchment coffee reaches a moisture content of 10-12%, it is stored in labeled conditioning bins until it is ready for the dry mill.
