Halo Beriti Washing Station was established in 2014 and currently receives coffee from more than 750 smallholders. Yirgacheffe has become famous for the fruity character of its coffees. The dense native forest is a product of the warm tropical climate with moderate wet and dry seasons. Most coffee is shade-grown by small producers using organic practices, across altitudes of 2100 - 2300m, ensuring slowly ripening coffee packed with flavour.

Producers harvest and deliver the cherries to the Halo Beriti washing station on the same day. They are first de-pulped and fermented in open tanks for 8–12 hours. The cherries are then washed in water channels to remove the mucilage. The beans will then be spread on raised beds to dry for 5–15 days, depending on the weather.
