The Siko washing station was established in 2017 and is located at an elevation of 2100 to 2250 meters above sea level in the Siko village of Uraga, Guji. This station procures cherries from approximately 500 local farmers, whose farms are also situated at similar high altitudes. The average size of the farmers’ plots ranges from 0.5 to 2 hectares. The region’s rich, fertile red soils, coupled with consistent sunlight, enable the skilled farmers to cultivate the high-quality coffee that we consistently seek. To systematically classify our Ethiopian coffees, our team developed a “flavour wheel,” assigning various flavour profiles to specific colours. This particular coffee is categorised under the “Kelloo” flavour profile, which translates to “yellow” in the Oromiffa language. This designation signifies a coffee that embodies the taste of yellow tropical fruits, floral notes, peach, and stone fruits, all of which can be experienced in this specific lot.
