The Konga cooperative is one in a network of cooperatives in the Yirgacheffe region belonging to the Yirgacheffe Coffee Farmers Cooperative Union. Its 2,400 smallholder members distinguish themselves with their sharp attention to detail in processing. The farmers hand-sort for unripe and overripe cherries, and after additional sorting based on density, the coffee is washed in clean water before being dried for one to two weeks on cloth drying beds. As part of the cooperative’s mission to give back to its community, it recently renovated buildings at a primary school and outfitted it with new supplies. Here at Vienna Coffee we are proud to offer coffees of impeccable high-quality from farms and cooperations that are making a difference.
