FROM THE ROASTER

THIS IS SEY'S SECOND YEAR WORKING WITH COFFEE FROM SIKE BOKASSO. GUJI HAS HAD AN UNBELIEVABLE YEAR. HAND-PICKED AT PEAK RIPENESS, FLOATED, HELD IN CHERRY FOR 12 HOURS IN SHADE, DE-PULPED, DRY-FERMENTED FOR 12 HOURS AND WET-FERMENTED FOR A FURTHER 12, THEN HAND-WASHED AND SHADE-DRIED. IN THE CUP: WATERMELON, PEACH, AND LEMONGRASS.

ABOUT SIKE BOKASSO

THIS LOT WAS SEPARATED FROM SOME OF THE HIGHEST ELEVATIONS IN GUJI. THE SIKE BOKASSO COMMUNITY HAS NO WASHING STATION OF ITS OWN, SO THE COFFEE WAS PROCESSED AND DRIED AT THE HALO HARTUME SITE IN NEIGHBOURING GEDEB. SEY CREDITS TIM HILL AND THEIR EXPORTING PARTNERS AT SNAP FOR MAKING THIS PRECISE, LABOUR-INTENSIVE SEPARATION POSSIBLE.

ABOUT ETHIOPIAN LANDRACE

ETHIOPIA IS HOME TO THE MOST COFFEE BIODIVERSITY OF ANY REGION IN THE WORLD, WITH DNA TESTING CONFIRMING OVER 60 DISTINCT VARIETIES. SINGLE-VARIETY LOTS REMAIN RARE, SO MOST ETHIOPIAN COFFEES ARE BLENDS OF MANY VARIETIES, REFERRED TO SIMPLY AS ETHIOPIAN LANDRACE.
