The station is located in Guji, a coffee growing region that was once part of Yirgacheffe but whose microclimate produces such unique coffee, that it was allocated as its own coffee growing region. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFarming methods in the region remain largely traditional. Guji farmers typically intercrop their coffee plants with other food crops. This method is common among smallholders because it maximizes land use and provides food for their families.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to remaining traditionally intercropped, most farms are also organic-by-default. Farmers in Guji typically use very few — if any — fertilizers or pesticides. Most farm work is done manually by the immediate family. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo capitalize on the magnificent climate, Uraga washing station provides training to help farmers produce better quality cherry. Training focuses on procedures for harvesting and transporting cherry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"tabs__paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Process\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis lot (grade 1) is processed using carbonic maceration, a processing technique inspired by wine making. Like anaerobic fermentation, carbonic maceration typically takes place in a sealed environment. While the method is similar, the main difference between anaerobic and carbonic fermentation is that anaerobic describes a no-oxygen environment and carbonic describes a carbon dioxide rich environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreating a carbon dioxide rich environment alter the kinds of microbes that will survive and flourish during fermentation. Different microbial activity will alter the flavor profile and can produce extremely unique and delicious flavors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFarmers selectively handpick cherry and deliver it to the washing station. At intake, employees hand sort incoming cherry to remove any under- or over-ripes or damaged cherry. Cherry is placed in a container and sealed so that no air can enter. In this sealed environment, fermentation begin. Because the skins of the cherries are left intact, fermentation may take days or weeks. Once fermentation is complete, cherry is removed, washed in clean water and laid on raised beds to dry. Drying coffee is raked regularly to ensure even drying.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gust Coffee Roasters","offers":[{"title":"WHOLE BEANS \/ 250G","offer_id":58849550303580,"sku":null,"price":18.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"WHOLE BEANS \/ 500G","offer_id":58849550336348,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"WHOLE BEANS \/ 1KG","offer_id":58849550369116,"sku":null,"price":66.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"GROUND FINE (aeropress) \/ 250G","offer_id":58849550401884,"sku":null,"price":18.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"GROUND FINE (aeropress) \/ 500G","offer_id":58849550434652,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"GROUND FINE (aeropress) \/ 1KG","offer_id":58849550467420,"sku":null,"price":66.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"GROUND MEDIUM (chemex-V60) \/ 250G","offer_id":58849550500188,"sku":null,"price":18.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"GROUND MEDIUM (chemex-V60) \/ 500G","offer_id":58849550532956,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"GROUND MEDIUM (chemex-V60) \/ 1KG","offer_id":58849550565724,"sku":null,"price":66.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"GROUND COARSE (french press) \/ 250G","offer_id":58849550598492,"sku":null,"price":18.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"GROUND COARSE (french press) \/ 500G","offer_id":58849550631260,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"GROUND COARSE (french press) \/ 1KG","offer_id":58849550664028,"sku":null,"price":66.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0372\/0786\/7437\/files\/UragaETHFIL.png?v=1787911647","url":"https:\/\/gust.coffee\/products\/ethiopia-uraga-filter","provider":"Gust Coffee Roasters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
