Ethiopia Harrar 4 Natural Nafisifie

Ethiopia Harrar 4 Natural Nafisifie is sourced from family-owned farms in zones unique to the Harari region, where the Great Rift Valley meets the Ahmar Mountain range, east of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Natural Nafisifie is produced produced by local smallholder farmers and dried at Nafisife processing station.

Cherry at Nafisife processing station is received at all times during the long harvest days. Once received, cherries are typically sorted for ripeness and consistency and moved directly to the drying tables where they are spread in a single layer to dry in the sun. The full drying process normally takes 14-21 days depending on the local climate at the time, and the final resting moisture content of the fruit is typically 11-12%.  

Once cherries have been thoroughly dried and rested, the dried fruit is hulled from the coffee seed locally, and then transferred to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia’s capital. In Addis the coffee is dry-milled by using modern color sorting equipment and a fleet of trained workers who repeatedly hand-sort the coffee for export.
