The coffee is grown at approximately 2,150 to 2,200 metres above sea level under natural shade trees and harvested between December and January, following the country’s seasonal cycle that supports flowering, fruit development and ripening.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe lot is processed at an Ephtah-owned site established in 2023. As the largest drying site in Gedeb, Lalesa has around 400 drying beds and plays an important role in preparing coffees from the surrounding area for export.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eFor this black honey process, ripe cherries are carefully selected, floated to remove lower-density fruit, rested briefly on drying beds, then pulped and dried under shade for around 25 days. The controlled drying and close attention during processing are designed to preserve quality and develop the character of the lot.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnce dried, the coffee is transported to Addis Ababa for export preparation before moving through Djibouti for shipment.\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eRipe cherries are pulped, removing the skin while leaving a high proportion of the sticky mucilage attached to the parchment. The coffee is then spread on raised beds or patios and dried slowly, with the mucilage remaining in contact with the parchment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe coffee is turned regularly to encourage even drying. Once the target moisture content is reached, the parchment is rested before being hulled and sorted in the dry mill.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Obadiah","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45832258060354,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2464\/3811\/files\/A7ABE483-3F80-4367-ACB4-CB5B35771ACE.png?v=1793134408","url":"https:\/\/dayglow.live\/products\/lalesa-3","provider":"Dayglow Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
