Yaye Chericho
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
The Yaye washing station was established in 2021 and is operated in partnership with Testi Coffee. The site processes coffee cherries delivered by hundreds of smallholder farmers from the surrounding villages of Yaye and Chericho in the Arbegona woreda. The station has gained recognition for its focus on quality and experimental processing techniques.
Challenges
Individual contributing farmers are not named on SEY’s exact 2025 lot page, so this station record intentionally remains without a producer relationship.
Innovations
The documented 2025 lot was depulped, density-separated, fermented underwater for 36 hours, and dried on raised beds for 10–14 days.
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.
