The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Women-produced regional lot

Coffee from approximately 30 women producers in Shakiso and surrounding kebeles is combined into the Wessi Station lot.

02
Natural processing

The coffee cherries are dried with the fruit intact, allowing fermentation to occur around the seed.

03
Raised-bed drying

Onyx identifies raised-bed drying for this project; exact drying conditions for every contributing farm are not published.

What was added?

Nothing is described as added during processing.

What wasn't added?

No fruit, flavoring, culture, or post-roast additive is disclosed.

Why it matters

Careful natural processing can amplify fruit character while the regional blend creates a dedicated market for women producers.

What you might taste

Onyx lists pineapple, strawberry, jasmine, and sweet tea.
