About this Coffee:
The highlands of Harar are remote, so remote, that most of the coffee is carried
by donkeys down to collectors below in the valley as trucks could not go to
the farmers.The way of processing the coffee is an ancient method going back
to the beginning of coffee consumption. Women crush the cherry in deep wooden
pots by hand and the coffee is naturally sundried on the ground.The coffee trees
are two hundred years old and some reach up to a height of 6 meters (20 feet).
This is the alpha to the high tech mechanical omega of most of Brazil.
