More about this coffee:

Is Benti Neka a town? Nope it's where the coffee is processed. 
This is a coffee grown in the Guji region of Ethiopia and processed at Benti Neka. Benti Neka, situated in West Guji, is a washing station specializing in washed coffee. Ripe, sorted cherries from farms at high elevations are processed and fermented in cement tanks for 36 to 48 hours. The pulped coffee is dried for seven to nine days. Once the parchment coffee reaches a moisture content of 10-12%, it is stored in labeled conditioning bins until ready for the dry mill.

The process says washed, what does that mean?
Washed processing is widely popular as it allows the terroir of the coffee to shine through. This method highlights the growing conditions, region, and true character of the coffee. At Benti Neka, producers achieve a clean, bright cup profile like this G2 Ethiopian coffee with its light body.

How do they keep track of all of this?
Traceability is a key focus at Benti Neka, where a voucher system is used to track each coffee lot throughout the production chain. This system ensures that every step, from the receiving station to the drying stage, is documented, tying the coffee back to the farmers who produced it.
