FARM: Worka Wuri

BEHIND THE PRODUCTION
Worka Wuri is a hub of community-driven excellence. Local smallholder farmers carefully harvest cherries at peak ripeness, transporting them daily to the mill. The station serves around 400 growers and emphasizes quality control in every step. Cherries are first floated to remove low-density fruit, then depulped gently to preserve bean integrity.

The washed method emphasizes clarity, enhancing Worka Wuri’s signature tea-like elegance while supporting consistent and sustainable yields across farming families.
LOCATION
Situated in southern Ethiopia’s Gedeo Zone, Worka village lies at an altitude of approximately 2.100 m. The region’s volcanic red soils, misty mornings, and cool nights provide the optimal environment for slow cherry development. This high-altitude terroir allows beans to mature fully, amplifying sweetness and building intricate fruit and floral complexities—hallmarks of Yirgacheffe coffee.

Ethiopia Worka Wuri Gr1 arrived to our roastery via EL CAFÉ, a company established in 2000 by Vasileios G. Anastasopoulos that is solely concerned in the coffee producing countries with discovering new coffee varieties on special farms.

Since then they supplie most of the largest coffee producing companies in Greece, by remaining as a dedicated green coffee import and trading company.

Processing Steps 1.Sorting & Depulping: Cherries are sorted by density and then gently pulped. 2.Fermentation: Beans are fermented in clean, shaded tanks for 24–36 hours, keeping fermentation temperatures low to preserve florals and acidity. 3.Washing: Multiple rinses with fresh spring water remove all mucilage. 4.Drying on Raised Beds: Beans are sun-dried on African raised beds for 10–14 days. They are spread thin, covered from direct sun midday, and turned regularly to ensure even drying and avoid over-fermentation. 5.Mill Specifications: The Worka Wuri mill is solar-powered and equipped with aerodynamic fans for ventilation, automated moisture and temperature meters, and stainless steel tanks for fermentation—an investment in precision and bean integrity. 6.Storage & Conditioning: After drying to 11% moisture, beans are moved into GrainPro or jute-lined silos for 15 days of stabilization prior to export, ensuring balance and preservation.
