It’s been too long since we had an Ethiopian coffee in our range to be honest - so when the samples arrived we decided we’d look for one with a real classic washed Ethiopian flavour profile - bright, floral, complex and sugary sweet.

I feel like when you manifest these things they tend to work out on the cupping table, and sure enough this one really embodied all those characteristics; stone fruits, bright and sweet citrus notes, lots of creamy, honey-like sweetness and delicate florals on the top.

We had to fight a little bit to secure enough volume of this one to make up what we needed, and this is becoming a bit of a thing for us now. We roast so much coffee that the microlots a lot of farms produce are becoming too small. It’s a weird problem that I never thought we’d have, but it’s also really fun to work out how to get coffees of this quality in higher volumes.

Anyway, we’ll deal with that. In the meantime let’s just enjoy this one - so clean, so bright and balanced - the best of Ethiopia basically!
