About Halo Beriti Washing Station

Halo Beriti is a washing station in Yirgacheffe, set up in 2014. Around 750 smallholder farmers deliver their ripe cherry here. Like most Ethiopian coffee, it’s grown on very small plots by farmers who also grow other crops, and farmers in the area typically don’t use fertilisers or pesticides.

This lot is a Grade 1 special preparation, or “Premium” as it’s known in Ethiopia. The cherry comes from a small group of farmers, usually picked on a single day, and around 90% of it is perfectly ripe. It’s hand-sorted again and again, from the moment it arrives right through drying, and kept apart from the station’s other lots, so only the very best coffee makes it into the bags.

After pulping, the coffee usually ferments for 8–12 hours in open-air tanks, is washed clean in water channels, then dries on raised beds for 5–15 days, depending on the weather.

  • What is the difference between filter and espresso roasting?

    Brightside Filter Roasts are considered very light.

  • Can I make espresso with Filter Roast?

    Technically yes, but we strongly advise against it. It will not taste good.
