Kochere

Ethiopia may be the birthplace of coffee, but is it a complex country when it comes to regions and identification. An Ethiopian coffee can be identified in various ways, including region, zone, processing mill or simply by a local name. Kochere is a processing mill in the Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples’ Region of Ethiopia. It is part of the Gedeo Zone and a subregion of Yiragacheffe. Unlike many other coffees, coffees from Kochere still have traceability after passing through the ECX, the Ethiopian Coffee Exchange. Coffees from this region are typically rich, juicy and present fruity flavours.

Processing

Coffees are hand picked and sorted, before being delivered to ‘primary markets’, where they are combined into larger lots. They are then sold to processing stations, who process the coffees as natural or washed coffees

Washed coffees are typically de-pulped, dry fermented, rinsed in water channels and dried on African beds

Natural coffees are placed in whole cherries on African beds and dried in full sunlight
