Guji Rassa Washed

Description

This is a classic washed Ethiopian coffee that ticks all the boxes. You can imagine that when someone says "washed Ethiopian coffee" you have a profile in mind - this is exactly that - nothing more, nothing less.  Grown from 2000-2200masl in the village of Rassa, in the Guji region of Ethiopia, this lot is comprised of mixed heirloom varieties without specific selection of varieties that comes with several smallholder farmers producing cherries at a time. The cherries are sent to the Suke Washing station where they're processed in the traditional washed fashion - floated, depulped, washed, and dried on raised beds.  This growing and processing leads to the classic profile we love from this lot - and at Rose we roast this coffee on the lighter side of our range - trying to accentuate more brighter fruits and florals. The result in the cup is a very light and fruity expression - we experience a tea-like structure to the coffee with bright citrus, sweet stone fruit, and gentle florals that make this coffee so enjoyable day after day!
