About
The Siko washing station was founded in 2017. It sits at 2,100-2,250 masl in the Siko village of Uraga, Guji. The land’s rich, fertile, red soils, combined with constant sunlight exposure, allow the well-trained farmers to grow high quality coffee we keep coming back for. The station buys cherries from around 500 neighbouring farmers, whose farms also sit at high altitudes of 2,100-2,250 masl. The farmers’ average plot size is approximately 0.5 - 2 hectares.
The natural process begins with red cherries being floated to remove immature, unripe cherries.
