Mundayo

Roasted October 28, 2025

The Mundayo Washing Station is located in the Oromia Region in the zone of West Arsi and serves about 750 smallholder producers in the area. The farmers deliver their cherry to the washing station, where it is floated to remove damaged and underripe cherries before being dried on raised beds for 21 days. Farming methods in West Arsi remain largely traditional with farmers intercropping their coffee plants with other food crops. In addition to this, most farms are also organic-by-default. Farmers in West Arsi typically use very few, if any fertilisers or pesticides. Most farm work is done manually and very few tasks are mechanised, even during processing.
