This washed coffee is harvested and prepared by Metad at the Chelbessa station, in the Yirgacheffe appellation. Metad was created by members of the diaspora who, after years in the United States, returned to their homeland.
They decided to promote Ethiopia's most famous product on the international market: coffee. With a view to restoring this product to its former glory, they promote washed coffee, complex in the cup and finely traced, certified organic.
This approach, combined with the company's involvement in development projects, convinced Belco to set up a solid partnership with Metad.
