Koke Washing Station • Honey Heirloom Varieties

This Koke Honey lot was sourced from approximately 1,200 small-scale farmers from Birbes Kela, Koke, Konga, Wedessa, and Tisho. These farmers bring their cherry harvests to the Koke and Birbes Kele washing stations for processing. The Koke washing station, constructed in 2011, has undergone numerous enhancements since 2015, when the washing station personnel began offering guidance to contributing producers on methods to boost coffee quality. The coffee cultivated in the various districts and kebeles of the Gedeo Zone is frequently referred to as Heirloom varieties, many of which have been propagated and distributed to farmers over the past four decades.
