Aricha Washing Station

The Aricha Washing Station is located in Ethiopia, operating within the Gedeb, Gedeo, and Yirgacheffe regions. The station processes coffee grown at high altitudes ranging from 1900 to 2200 meters above sea level.

The production at this station is characterized by the use of heirloom varietals. These cultivars are the primary focus for the coffee processed at the facility.

The station maintains a diverse process portfolio, utilizing both washed and natural methods. The catalog data indicates a preference for washed processing, which accounts for three of the four lots recorded, while one lot is processed using the natural method.

The Aricha Washing Station has a catalog footprint that includes four different roasters. Recent catalog entries include the Ethiopia Aricha processed as a washed heirloom by Kuma Coffee, The Original processed as a washed heirloom by Black & White Coffee Roasters, and the Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Aricha G1 Espresso processed as a washed heirloom by Caffenation. Additionally, Glitch Coffee and Roasters has featured an Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Aricha Natural.

The work of the Aricha Washing Station is defined by its consistent focus on heirloom varietals and its ability to supply both washed and natural processed coffees to a variety of international roasters.
