The washing station Lalesa located in Gedeb was purchased by Ephtah in 2023.

This station is located at 2200 m.a.s.l. and is a 3.5-hectare area where 350 raised beds are installed. Ephtah empowers women by a series of initiatives including education, financial knowledge, financing and strengthening the female coffee community leadership.

Coffee farmers grow mainly heirloom varieties. These coffees are cultivated at 2150 to 2200 m.a.s.l in Lalesa, Gedeb. Individual coffee growers pick the cherries and transport them directly to the washing stations. The farmer is paid immediately for their cherries on delivery.

The coffees are typically delivered the day they are harvested, and are first sorted for ripeness and quality before being rinsed clean of dirt. Then they are spread on raised drying beds or tables, where they will be rotated constantly throughout the course of drying. Drying can take an average of 12–15 days, depending on the weather.

  1. Sebastian Korfanty (verified owner) –

    If you enjoy funky-tasting coffees, these are the beans you’ve been waiting for ;). The fermentation notes are well integrated but unmistakable. These are my second-favourite beans I’ve ever encountered, with the top spot held by Uganda Kingha (extended fermentation), which you sold back in December 2021. It’s been a long wait, but I’m fully stocked now, and the freezer is ready ;).

    Thank you, as always, for the great selection and roasting!
