He selected some coffee trees from the Choche forest, and farmers are still using those original mother trees today. Currently, farmers in the region cultivate coffee varieties selected from Choche, as well as varieties distributed by JARC, such as the 74110. Khalid collects coffee from 44 outgrowers, each with an average of 4 hectares. They farm using<br \/>\nagroecological practices, following the Ethiopian semi-forest system, Kota Kebele lies in the heart of Ethiopia\u2019s renowned coffee belt, where the land is naturally endowed with ideal soil conditions for high-quality, specialty coffee cultivation. The dominant soil type in the area is Nitisol, also known as Nitosol. These soils are deep, well-structured, and have a reddish clay texture with high fertility. They are particularly well-suited for coffee cultivation, which is a major crop in the region.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Gomma<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This coffee is processed by Khalid Shifa in Kota Kebele, Gomma Woreda, Jimma Zone.

A Penagos pulping machine is used, which also removes the mucilage. Demucilagination is not done using pectinase; instead, the advantage of this machine is that it uses only 0.2 liters of water compared to 10 liters used by traditional pulping machines.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The parchment is dried under shade for 6 hours after being removed from the soaking tanks. It is then dried on raised tables for eight to ten days, covered during the night, at noon and turned several times during the day. After drying, the parchment is transported to Addis Ababa to be processed at a dry mill. Following hulling and sorting, the coffee is prepared for export.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Notas: Honey, Hazelnut, Stone Fruit<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1137,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_kad_post_transparent":"default","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"default","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"default","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"default","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false},"product_cat":[19],"product_tag":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/volcacoffee.se\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/3253"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/volcacoffee.se\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/volcacoffee.se\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/volcacoffee.se\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3253"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/volcacoffee.se\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1137"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/volcacoffee.se\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3253"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/volcacoffee.se\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=3253"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/volcacoffee.se\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=3253"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
