ORIGIN STORY: Chire Washing Station collects cherries from roughly 700 farms on the far Eastern edge of Sidama along the outskirts of the Harenna Forest preserve. The station recently joined the Moplaco network, which run by Heleanna Georgalis helps with education and training with their Farmer’s Coffee Project. At Chire, cherries dry for 12-15 days with use of shade covering for hot afternoons and a focus on slow fermentation during the cooler nights.
FLAVOUR:
Chire delivers hallmark blueberry, fresh strawberry, and a delicate note of black tea. Yet, it also breaks expectations with cardamon along some sweet red cherry notes with caramel, think cherry coke!
