ETHIOPIA LIMU 2 ORGANIC GALE KEMISE GRAINPRO coffee is sourced from family owned farms organized around the Gale Kemise Association, located within the Jimma Zone in the Oromia region, Ethiopia. Members of Gale Kemise Association deliver ripe cherries to the Gale Kemise mill located in Limmu Kossa where the cherries are sorted and pulped. After pulping, the beans are fermented for 36 to 48 hours and then washed. The wet beans in parchment are placed on raised drying beds in thin layers and turned every 2 to 3 hours during the first few days of the drying process. Depending on weather, the beans are dried for 10 to 12 days until the moisture in the coffee beans is reduced to 11.5 percent. Then the beans are transported to Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, to be milled and bagged prior to export.
