Washed Special Prep

This "Special Prep" lot—referred to as “Premium” by many Ethiopian producers—is the result of careful cherry selection and meticulous processing. The cherries are sourced from a small group of dedicated smallholder farmers, with a focus on quality over quantity.

For these lots, 90% of the cherries are perfectly ripe, displaying a deep red color. The remaining 5% are semi-ripe, and 5% are slightly overripe. This careful selection ensures a consistently high-quality cup.

Once harvested, the cherries are processed and stored separately from other lots to preserve their unique character. Because of the precision involved, only a limited number of bags are produced each year.

In most cases, the cherries are collected as a day lot, meaning they’re harvested on a single day to ensure consistency and freshness.
