After inheriting the washing station in 2020, Mikiyas took on the responsibility of managing the operation and working alongside local producers to bring the area's coffees to market. Today, the station processes approximately 300 bags of coffee each year, maintaining a focus on quality while supporting the surrounding farming community.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBuilding on the foundation established by the previous generation, Mikiyas has continued to refine the station's practices, creating a reliable outlet for producers in the region and helping showcase the distinctive character of coffees grown in Gerse.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Process\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe process begins with the careful selection and purchase of ripe coffee cherries, which are presorted before processing. The cherries are then depulped using a traditional Agard pulping machine and separated by density through flotation, ensuring only the highest-quality coffee moves forward.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAfter pulping, the coffee undergoes a 48–72 hour fermentation in large concrete tanks before being thoroughly washed in channels. The parchment is then moved to raised drying beds, where it is carefully dried and hand sorted to remove defects. Once optimal moisture levels are achieved, the coffee is stored onsite in parchment before being transported to Addis Ababa for final preparation and export.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Cup\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis coffee is a classic expression of Ethiopian washed processing, showcasing the clarity and elegance that careful fermentation and drying can achieve.
