Jigesa Washing Station in Ethiopia’s Guji zone was founded in 2014 by family-owned Testi Coffee. Sitting at 1,851m in Shakisso, it produces exceptional washed and natural coffees with the help of 250+ seasonal workers, mostly women hand-sorting parchment. Around 500 smallholder farmers from nearby villages deliver ripe cherries daily, grown organically alongside other crops under native shade. The high elevation and cool climate allow slow ripening, creating denser beans and sweeter, complex cups.
This lot is part of Testi’s Premium Cherry Selection (PCS) program, rewarding farmers for delivering only the ripest cherries and ensuring outstanding quality.
