About Primrose / Wubanchi Washing Station

Yirgacheffe, meaning "Land of Many Springs," is renowned for its ideal climate, high elevation, and abundant water sources—perfect for cultivating exceptional coffee. In the Gedeo region, the village of Aricha is home to over 1,700 smallholder farmers who grow coffee in their backyards. Ethiopian coffee is naturally organic, with landrace varieties thriving in harmony with the environment, enriching the soil, and providing natural pest control.

This variety is prized for its small bean size, delivering a vibrant cup with elevated acidity and dense, complex fruit notes. The harvest is carefully hand-picked and processed at the Aricha Wubanchi Washing Station, located just 9 km from Yirgacheffe town. Established in 2021, the station spans 2.5 hectares and features 180 drying beds, using meticulous processing methods to enhance the coffee’s unique characteristics.

After floating and sorting, cherries undergo natural sun-drying on African beds for 19 to 21 days, with constant monitoring to ensure uniformity and optimal moisture content (10–12%). Once dried, the coffee is cleaned, hulled, polished, and sorted by size and density before being packaged in Grainpro bags for export.

Beyond producing exceptional coffee, the Aricha Wubanchi team supports their local community, recently contributing to road construction efforts. This coffee is sourced from Primrose Coffee, a trusted Ethiopian exporter with 20 years of experience and a proud member of the International Women's Coffee Alliance (Ethiopian Chapter).

  • Blends are available year-round with a smooth, balanced taste, while single-origin coffees highlight unique regional flavours and change with the seasons.

  • Our single origin coffees are from single estates, regions or producers. It allows a more defined and specific flavour and characteristic of coffee to shine. 

  • After harvesting, coffee undergoes a fermentation process, which shapes its flavor. 

    • Washed (Wet) Process: The fruit is removed early, and the beans are washed and fermented in tanks for a clean taste.
    • Natural (Dry) Process: Whole cherries dry in the sun for weeks, creating fruity, complex flavors.
    • Other Methods: Hybrid techniques like honey processing and modern yeast fermentation add unique twists.

  • Coffee trees come in many shapes and sizes, with characteristics adapted to the local climate, growing conditions and sometimes selectively bred in labs. These are called Varietals, and they can paint a picture of the coffee before you even taste it!

  • Elevation is the altitude the coffee grew at. Higher doesn’t always mean better, but denser coffees usually come from higher altitudes. Denser coffees have higher concentrations of nutrients, which affects the roasting and brewing process.

  • The taste or tasting notes are what we all came here for. The unique flavour profile of every coffee is exciting. We want our tasting notes to reflect the coffee but also be inclusive and easy to understand. For green coffees, we supply the sourcing partner cupping and tasting notes, but for our roasted coffees we taste them and describe them ourselves, as roasting style has a big impact on the expression of the flavours in the cup.

  • We rely on incredible, responsible and quality driven sourcing partners to broker coffees on our behalf in the market, and we want to honour that relationship by sharing their story and how it aligns with ours.
