Nano Challa Washing Station
This is a research profile, not an independently conducted farm visit. Producer and coffee relationships are shown only when the records agree. Check the research sources below for supporting evidence.
The story
TechnoServe reports that Jimma growers launched Nano Challa in 2010. Stumptown and Trabocca document the cooperative's first wet mill and subsequent expansion to a second washing station as membership and washed-coffee production grew.
Challenges
Published membership counts vary by source year and scope; Verve's approximately 400 is retained only as the contributor count for the current offering.
Innovations
Verve says the current coffee is depulped with a Penagos eco-pulper to reduce water use, dried under shade, then moved into direct sunlight.
Published coffees linked to this farm
For blends, a farm may be named for one documented component without growing the entire coffee. These catalog relationships do not independently verify every lot, harvest or producer. See individual coffee profiles for traceability evidence.
Research sources & verification
These source links were recorded for this farm profile. They document its research trail; a linked source is not, by itself, confirmation of every farm, producer, coffee lot or photo identity.
