The Limmu Kosa washing station in the heart of Ethiopian coffee country, at the eastern end of the Oromia zone. the coffee is harvested during the dry season over several months, washed and lightly fermented to remove all fruit mucilage, and then laid out to dry on an array of covered raised beds. once the coffee has dried to the right moisture level, it is warehoused Addis Ababa, as it makes way to the cargo ships that run out of the port of Djibouti and eventually make their way into the world.
