This coffee lot comes from the town of Halo Barite in Gedeb, Gedo Zone. An area also referred to as Yirgacheffe. ‘Magarissa’ refers to a green colour in the Oromiffa language. The Halo washing station is owned by the SNAP co-operative, consisting of around 700 smallholder farmers from the local area. The farms sit at altitudes between 2000 and 2100 MASL. Farms here are typically semi-forested and densely vegetated with shade trees, including false banana. The surrounding landscape allows cherries to be delivered to the station within a short distance, preserving their quality and freshness. All cherries are hand-picked.
