Description

About This Coffee Flavors: Nectarine, Lemon Zest, Elderflower Sourced from: Danche Kebele, Gedeb, Yirgacheffe, Ethiopia Elevation grown: 1900-2100 Meters Producers: 160 smallholder regional farmers Varietals: Kurume, Dega Harvested: 2025 Process: Washed The cherries are carefully selected by hand based on ripeness and density before being depulped. They then go through a submerged fermentation lasting approximately 48–72 hours. Once this phase is complete, the coffee is thoroughly washed and placed back into clean water for another 12 hours to further refine the cup profile and improve clarity. After washing, the parchment is transferred to raised drying beds, where it remains for 10–12 days. During this time, it is turned frequently to promote even drying and covered during peak heat to protect the beans. When optimal moisture is reached, the coffee is rested to allow stabilization prior to export, a final measure that helps maintain its sweetness and brightness.
