Established in 2021, the Yaye Chericho washing station is a fairly new operation, but one that has already gained wide recognition for outstanding quality. Located in the Sidama zone, the site collects coffee cherries from various producers in the woreda of Arbegona, including from the neighboring villages of Yaye and Chericho - the communities that inspired its name. This honey processed lot is brimming with candy-like red fruit and tropical flavors. We’re finding dried cherry, fig, and kiwi on the nose, followed by additional fruit tones of starfruit, green grape, and rooibos tea.
