The story: Dembi is in the Sidama region of Ethiopia. About 1,200 farmers contribute to these lots. Coffee cherries are handpicked at peak ripeness and delivered fresh to be processed. For natural processing, cherries are floated to remove bad fruit and dried in the shade for about 18 days or until moisture reaches 11.2%. The dried cherry is then rested for four weeks before hulling and export preparation. This natural coffee is harvested and first sorted for ripeness and quality before being rinsed clean. Then it is spread on raised drying beds or tables and rotated constantly during drying. Drying can take 8–25 days, depending on the weather.
