Wuri Station is a coffee washing station in the Gedeb area of Ethiopia, known for producing high-quality Yirgacheffe coffee. The altitude of the farms is really high, acknowledged with the Gedio word “Wuri” meaning “high altitude”. Located near Gedeb town, Gedeo zone, in the SNNP region of Southern Ethiopia, Wuri Station processes coffee cherries from around 850 smallholder farmers.
At the Wuri washing station, the sorting and drying processes are carried out with precision and labor-intensive care. Washed coffees typically dry within 12-15 days, while Naturals require 18-21 days. During the drying process, Naturals are covered during the peak heat to ensure a gentle and consistent drying, regularly turning them on the beds under daylight. The resultant coffees from Wuri exhibit a complexity of flavors that elevate them above other offerings from the region. The washed coffees boast botanical and tropical notes, such as rose, jasmine, and honeydew, while the Naturals encompass a deep, jammy profile featuring blackberry and dark plum flavors. Altogether, the coffees from Worka-Sakaro showcase an extraordinary flavor profile that sets them apart from other offerings.
