Duwancho Wash Station

Duwancho Washing Station, located in Ethiopia's Sidama zone at 2,250 meters above sea level, is a privately owned facility operated by Testi Coffee. Built in 2021, it specializes in producing high-quality washed, natural, and special preparation coffee lots, leveraging the region's ideal growing conditions and access to clean water. During the harvest season, around 500 independent farmers from nearby villages deliver fresh coffee cherries to the station, where each batch is processed separately to maintain traceability. The station's premium microlot, sourced from a small group of local farmers, is known for its unique and exceptional cup quality.

74148

74148 is an heirloom Ethiopian landrace variety that was studied at the Jimma Agricultural Research Center in 1974, which is why this series of varieties is named with the prefix “74xxx.” These are not hybrids but are original varieties selected from “mother trees” for their desirable traits, such as high yield, quality, and disease resistance.This particular variety originated from a mother tree selected in the Bishari area of the Metu district in the Illuababora zone in 1974. After undergoing extensive screening for resistance to Coffee Berry Disease (CBD) in both field and laboratory conditions, selection 74148 was approved for release in 1979 due to its strong CBD resistance and good yield. It is recommended for cultivation in the Gera, Jimma, and Metu coffee-growing zones, at elevations ranging from 1,500 to 2,100 meters above sea level. Although it has a compact growth canopy, 74148 is not well-suited to drought conditions.

Special Prep

For the special preparation, often referred to as "Premium" in Ethiopia, cherries are sourced from a select group of small-holder farmers. Typically, 90% of the cherries are perfectly ripe, with the remaining 5% being semi-red and 5% overripe. These cherries are processed and stored separately from other lots, resulting in a limited number of bags produced annually. Generally, the cherries used for these lots are harvested in a single day.In Ethiopia, natural coffees are first sorted for ripeness and quality, then rinsed. They are spread on raised drying beds or tables, where they are rotated regularly throughout the drying process, which can take anywhere from 8 to 25 days, depending on weather conditions.Tell your brand's story through images

We are roasting with the 7kg Loring roaster in the shop which provides an efficiency and control of the quality, as the automated controls allow us to concentrate on creating the best coffee by releasing green beans from the hopper and precisely controlling the burner.
