R Ki Coffee Lab — Ethiopia - Yaye - Odakko Project 74158 Natural Coffee Beans

This special prep natural coffee is part of the Odakko Project, a collaboration between Testi Coffees and Cafe Imports following four years of study and pre-harvest planning. The aim was to create a traceable, single-variety offering using the most intentionally selected cherry possible at peak harvest to discover a one-of-one flavour profile. This novel coffee is the product of 50 smallholders from neighbouring villages of Yaye and Chericho. The cherries are collected from a limited number of small-holder farmers, with 90% perfectly picked at the right red colour, 5% semi red and 5% overripe.

The Yaye Washing Station, built in 2021, is dedicated to quality through experimentation and is equipped with immaculate washing facilities, hundreds of raised beds, and numerous fermentation barrels. Cleanliness is prioritized at every step, with all staff washing their hands and equipment before coffee passes through, and coffee cherries washed with potable water rather than river water. Testi Coffee is committed to serving coffee-growing communities, emphasizing education, building schools, and providing school supplies to youth, with the Odakko Project premium going toward this social program.
