Shakiso coffee is one of the best types of Ethiopian coffee and has several processing methods, the most famous being dried and washed. Its trees grow at high altitude, which gives it a distinctive aromatic quality and a full body with fruity aromatic flavors. About the processing: Scientific term: Washed Process In the washed processing, coffee cherries are sorted in large water tanks before separating the coffee bean from the cherry to purify and remove underdeveloped fruits, insect-affected fruits, and fully ripe beans free of any agricultural defects such as dust and pesticides if the coffee is not organic. At this stage, unripe coffee cherries float and are immediately discarded. Ripe coffee cherries are then sent to advanced seed separation devices to properly separate the coffee beans from the cherries for later use as coffee cascara or coffee cherry tea. After separating the beans, they are sent again to large water tanks for washing and cleaning from any impurities. At this stage, the coffee beans are covered with mucilaginous layers, the parchment membrane, and the silver skin. Then, the coffee beans are spread on beds to be exposed to sunlight, and the drying duration depends on the weather conditions of each country.
