In 2021, their specialty coffee from hometown Alo Village claimed the national championship at CoE, which strengthened their resolve to produce world-class specialty coffee from Sidama. *24h Cold Spring Water Anaerobic Natural Process: Selected fresh coffee cherries are sealed inside fermentation tanks, then submerged in cold spring water for 24-hour indirect low-temperature anaerobic fermentation. Afterwards, cherries are spread in a single layer on shaded, well-ventilated African raised drying beds. They are turned regularly to achieve even dehydration. After over 30 days of shade drying, the dried parchment coffee is moved into resting warehouses.
