About Wote Konga

Grown at elevations ranging from 1,750 to 2,300 metres above sea level, Wote Konga benefits from Yirgacheffe’s cool climate, fertile soils, and ideal growing conditions. These high elevations slow cherry maturation, allowing the coffee to develop exceptional complexity, sweetness, and clarity.

The Konga Cooperative brings together hundreds of smallholder farmers who share a commitment to quality and sustainable farming practices. Their collective efforts have helped establish Yirgacheffe as one of the most respected coffee-growing regions in the world.

Cooperative Production & Washed Processing

Freshly harvested cherries are delivered to the Konga Cooperative, where they are carefully sorted and processed using the traditional washed method. The fruit is removed before fermentation and washing, highlighting the coffee’s inherent brightness and delicate aromatics.

Following processing, the coffee is dried on raised beds, allowing for consistent airflow and even drying. This meticulous approach preserves the clean, expressive character that has become synonymous with exceptional Ethiopian coffee.
