Shantawene Washing Station

The Shantawene Washing Station is located in the Sidama region of Ethiopia. Coffee cherries processed at this station are grown at altitudes ranging between 1900 and 2100 meters.

The station focuses on processing heirloom varietals. These plants are native to the region and form the basis of the coffee lots produced at this site.

The processing portfolio at Shantawene includes both natural and anaerobic natural methods. The station utilizes these techniques to manage the fermentation and drying of the heirloom cherries.

The current catalog footprint for Shantawene includes two distinct lots carried by two different roasters. Recent catalog entries include the Ethiopia Shantawene Natural processed by Magnolia Coffee and the Ethiopia Shantawene Fruit Mosto Natural processed by Proud Mary Coffee.

The work at Shantawene is characterized by its focus on traditional heirloom varietals paired with both standard and anaerobic natural processing methods.
