Gara Agena is a washing station owned by our Ethiopian sourcing partners, Testi Coffee. By establishing washing stations in areas with favourable growing conditions and paying premiums for well-harvested cherries, Testi ensures that they receive extremely high quality fruit, resulting in coffees with outstanding sweetness, complexity and distinction.

Around 450 farmers deliver their coffee cherries to Gara Agena to be processed. For this lot, the coffee was meticulously hand-sorted and graded, and the healthiest, ripest cherries were carefully dried in the fruit on raised beds.
