Expect a silky stone fruit complexity in the cup - fresh and vibrant acidity - with a touch of Bergamot on the finish. 

A true classic Ethiopian washed coffee.

This lot was produced by Negash Abarago, on his family’s farm in the Kedamesa village of Limu, which is located in the Oromia zone. Harvest took place between October 2023 and December 2023, and was processed at the Kedamesa village drying station.

Negash is a second generation farmer who inherited his farm from his parents and has spent over 10 years cultivating coffee on this land.

Process:

During processing, cherries were hand sorted, pulped, washed, then soaked in water overnight. After being washed again the next morning, the coffee was dried on raised African beds.

Because these beds are outdoors, weather conditions were carefully monitored, and coffee was covered with a shade net during the intense midday sun, and covered with tarpaulin overnight and during rain. This lot of coffee took between 10 and 12 days to be dried to satisfaction.
