This specific washed lot comes from registered smallholders surrounding the Danche station.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e74110 is a locally selected subvariety of Ethiopian Heirloom, developed in the 1970s at the Jimma Agricultural Research Center (JARC) for resistance to coffee berry disease, selected from a mother tree in the Bishari village, Oromia. The trees are short and compact, with small leaves and cherries. 74112 comes from the Metu Bishari selections made in the forests of the Illubabor Zone in 1974, also selected by JARC for its disease resistance and high yield potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PROCESS\u003c\/strong\u003e At the company's washing stations, cherries are pulped and undergo submerged fermentation lasting 48–72 hours depending on temperature.
