The coffee communities of Aricha
Today Aricha is a Yirgacheffe coffee-hub. Testi Coffee estimates that one-thousand smallholders from different communities come to Aricha to sell their cherries. During collection, Adham marks the lots per community to ensure traceability. In the hills surrounding the station, you find four coffee communities; Aricha, Gersi, Idido, and Reko Onancho.
All four communities submitted micro-lots for the 2019’ Ethiopian Cup and ranked among the top-scoring coffees within the auction. Each farming family received a portion of the auction premium to improve their livelihoods. When you search for lots from Aricha, be sure to look for the community names as well.
