Ethiopia Uraga Guji Gr 1 - Washed - Espresso Roast

Delicate and tea-like, with notes of nashi pear, black tea, and a smooth syrupy body.

This lot is sourced from the heart of Ethiopia's Guji Zone, Uraga district, specifically in the village of Harowacho, founded 14 years ago by Bisrat Melaku. The coffee is sourced from high altitude areas sounded by mountain Quto, where the river Seboba crosses, making it an ideal environment to harvest and process high-quality coffee.

The farmers, consisting of 40-60 individuals and 400-500 coffee pickers, deliver their ripe cherries to the Harsu sala washing station, where they undergo a series of steps to ensure quality. The cherries are sorted by grade using density channels, fermented for 72 hours, washed and checked for defects before being placed on raised drying tables for 5-8 days. The drying process is carefully monitored to achieve the desired moisture content of 11%.

The African raised beds, a testament to our commitment to quality, are meticulously designed to provide optimal air circulation and temperature control. This ensures that our coffee is protected from damage caused by over-fermentation or mould growth, guaranteeing the highest quality in every cup.
