More about the Nensebo Refisa coffee:
The Refisa washing station, owned by Negusse Weldyes, is located in thewestern part of the Arsi Administrative Zone. This area, bordering BaleMountain National Park, used to be designated as a Sidama offering but, with relaxed restrictions for working directly with washing stations, we are now able to better describe where exactly these coffees originate. This station receives cherries from both cultivated and wild growing trees in the Harenna forest near Bale Mountain. This station was constructed in 2015 and is very remote being that it is located at the end of the road that runs through this area. Together with our exporter, we paid a premium for this coffee of with proceeds going towards building a school for local children in the area as well as for improvements to the station itself.
