Worka Sakaro Washing Station

Worka Sakaro Washing Station sources coffee from the Gedeb and Yirgacheffe regions of Ethiopia, operating within an altitude band of 1995 to 2200 meters. This high elevation setting contributes to the regional profile of the cherry delivered to the station for processing. The varietal landscape represented in the catalog includes local heirloom cultivars alongside specific regional selections such as Kurume, Dega, and Wolisho. These varieties form the base of the lots processed at the station. The processing portfolio features a mix of traditional and experimental methods, specifically natural, anaerobic natural, and washed treatments. This variety in processing allows for different flavor expressions from the same growing regions. The catalog footprint includes six distinct coffees carried by six different roasters, with one lot currently in stock. The average Cherrybook Index across their lots is 61.4. Recent catalog examples illustrate this diversity of preparation and sourcing. Magnolia Coffee and Brio Coffeeworks both feature natural process lots utilizing Dega, Wolisho, Kurume, and heirloom varieties. Passage Coffee offers a washed lot from the station using heirloom varieties. Coffee Bean Corral and Lexington Coffee Roasters feature anaerobic natural lots. Valor Coffee also carries a lot from Worka Sakaro. The work of Worka Sakaro Washing Station is distinguished by its engagement with multiple roasters across a range of classic and anaerobic processes applied to traditional Ethiopian varieties.
