The Ayla washing station is owned by Testi Trading and operated by the Yonis family and their team.

So far they have completed construction of multiple primary schools and even the first ever high school in the town of Hamasho, a small town in Sidama.
This washed processed coffees are de-pulped within 8 hours after picking and the mucilage-covered parchment is submerged in water for a 36 to 48 hour fermentation, depending on the conditions. After most of the mucilage is consumed, the coffee is fully washed in canals with running water until the water is completely transparent and all of the mucilage is completely removed from the parchment.
After fermenting and washing, this premium coffee is laid out on raised beds under a shade net for 5 to 7 days until the moisture content is between 11 and 12%. The coffee is then moved inside a nearby warehouse for final homogenization and resting until it is ready to be transported to the dry mill.
