We’re tasting fresh blueberries and sweet banana, combining beautifully for our first venture into Tanzanian coffee. \\nRegulations in the country changed between 2017 and 2019 which led to several farmers ceasing operations due to the uncertainty. Farms were neglected and both volume and quality suffered as a result. In 2020, a concerted effort was made to revive the area. Due to the previous investment in facilities and the area's history of producing high-quality coffee, it was seen as a worthwhile endeavour. This focused on better production practises and paying higher premiums to reward quality, and has seen many farmers return to growing coffee.\u0026quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":769,\"3\":{\"1\":0},\"11\":4,\"12\":0}'\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFROM OUR IMPORTER - DRWakefield\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Beloya washing station lies in the Kochere District; just north of Chelelektu, and 45km from Dilla, the administrative centre of the Gedeo Zone. The washing station itself has two processing units to ensure a timely washing and drying of the cherry, using water from the local river system. Smallholder farmers in the hills surrounding the washing station will bring their cherry here to be processed, cupped, and sold; the station itself has been around for over twenty years, but has recently been bought and expansion and improvement works are underway. Water pH is measured(7.8) and TDS taken. The 12 fermentation tanks and more than 136 raised beds allow for lot management to ensure traceability. This drive for quality is not limited to the washing station as the Dry mill too has laser colour sorters for detecting defects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe coffee from here is grown at high altitudes in iron rich soils with a spread of genetic diversity provided by the heirloom varietals.

Over-ripe and under-ripe beans are handpicked and separated before processing. Fresh red cherries are supplied to the washing stations. Coffees are pulped and allowed to ferment for 36-48 hours. The fermented coffee is washed with clean running water, soaked in clean water and then dried for 18 days to retain about 11.5% of moisture. Dried parchment coffee is stored in field warehouse until it is transported for further processing to Addis Ababa. The parchment coffee is processed in dry processing warehouse to remove the husks and the clean beans are packaged in labelled bags (60Kg bags) for export.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eTo get the best from your coffee please take a look at our brew guides \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.woodstcoffee.co.uk\/brew-guides\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHERE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eALL PACKAGING IS CARBON NEUTRAL AND WIDELY RECYCLABLE \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wood St Coffee Roasters UK","offers":[{"title":"250g \/ WHOLEBEAN","offer_id":57162803577207,"sku":null,"price":14.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ ESPRESSO","offer_id":57162803609975,"sku":null,"price":14.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ MOKAPOT\/STOVETOP","offer_id":57162803642743,"sku":null,"price":14.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ AEROPRESS","offer_id":57162803675511,"sku":null,"price":14.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ V60\/POUROVER","offer_id":57162803708279,"sku":null,"price":14.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ FRENCH PRESS\/CAFETIERE","offer_id":57162803741047,"sku":null,"price":14.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ BATCH BREW\/CHEMEX","offer_id":57162803773815,"sku":null,"price":14.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g (2 x 250g) \/ WHOLEBEAN","offer_id":57162803806583,"sku":null,"price":26.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g (2 x 250g) \/ ESPRESSO","offer_id":57162803839351,"sku":null,"price":26.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g (2 x 250g) \/ MOKAPOT\/STOVETOP","offer_id":57162803872119,"sku":null,"price":26.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g (2 x 250g) \/ AEROPRESS","offer_id":57162803904887,"sku":null,"price":26.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g (2 x 250g) \/ V60\/POUROVER","offer_id":57162803937655,"sku":null,"price":26.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g (2 x 250g) \/ FRENCH PRESS\/CAFETIERE","offer_id":57162803970423,"sku":null,"price":26.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g (2 x 250g) \/ BATCH BREW\/CHEMEX","offer_id":57162804003191,"sku":null,"price":26.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ WHOLEBEAN","offer_id":57162804035959,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ ESPRESSO","offer_id":57162804068727,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ MOKAPOT\/STOVETOP","offer_id":57162804101495,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ AEROPRESS","offer_id":57162804134263,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ V60\/POUROVER","offer_id":57162804167031,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ FRENCH PRESS\/CAFETIERE","offer_id":57162804199799,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ BATCH BREW\/CHEMEX","offer_id":57162804232567,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0565\/0336\/9826\/files\/BELOYA250.jpg?v=1783945414","url":"https:\/\/www.woodstcoffee.co.uk\/products\/beloya-ethiopia-1","provider":"Wood St Coffee Roasters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
