The Halo Beriti wet mill lies in the famous Yirgacheffe region, where farmers surrounding the nearby village of Gedeb have delivered their cherries. These are wild arabica varieties from the birthplace of coffee, grown organically in 1900 to 2400 masl. The coffee is certified organic and is naturally processed, which means the coffee cherries are dried with the flesh of fruit on and this gives the coffee more body.

Selective mechanical picking occurs typically with 40-60% ripe coffee on the tree, with 5% green, 10% underripe, and the rest tree dried. Each brings its own unique characteristics to a coffee, so a sample is picked, processed and roasted to check taste is as expected before the order is given to pick the specific lot. Sorting is done on a specially adapted wet mill, first with density sorting that removes overripes, then with the drier and natural beans being sorted from the ripes, underripes and greens.
