FROM THE ROASTER

CHERRIES ARE SORTED FOR DEFECTS, PULPED, AND FERMENTED FOR 24 HOURS WITH 10% OF THEIR MUCILAGE REMAINING. THE COFFEE IS THEN HAND WASHED AND DRIED ON SHADED BEDS FOR 9-12 DAYS, TURNED EVERY FEW HOURS TO ENSURE EVEN DRYING.

THIS COFFEE IS DELICATE'S ENTRANCE TO ETHIOPIA SEASON. IT SHOWS UP IN THE CUP WITH SOFT CITRUS NOTES THAT LEAD INTO CLEAN, STRONG JASMINE FLORALS, COMPLEMENTED BY A PERFUMEY WHITE PEACH THAT GOES LONG INTO THE FINISH. AN ELEGANT WASHED COFFEE. OVER DAYS OF TASTING WE HAVE EXPERIENCED NOTES OF YUZU, WHITE PEACH, JASMINE, AND WHITE TEA.

THIS LOT CONTAINS 100% CHERRY FROM THE DANCHE COMMUNITY, A LOCALITY IN THE CHELBESA KEBELE AT 2000-2300 MASL. IT WAS PROCESSED BY HABTAMU FIKADU OF KURI MOUNTAIN COFFEE, ESTABLISHED IN 2015 BY A FAMILY WHOSE COFFEE ROOTS GO BACK TO 1945.
