Description
This specific offering comes from the Yaye Washing Station, located in Ethiopia’s Sidamo region. After cherries are purchased from local producers, the cherries are soaked in a water tank for two hours and the defective, floating cherries are removed. Cherries are then placed directly on raised beds with a specific thickness of cherries to ensure an even drying process. The raised beds here are in a location that allows wind to blow through the coffee and more limited sunlight due to slight shade and the use of shade nets. Coffee is dried on these beds while moved multiple times a day for an average period of 30 days
The cup is sweet and savory with tart acidity; jasmine, blackberry, grapefruit, caramelized sugar, and dark chocolate flavors.
*This is a natural/dry-processed coffee, meaning it has been dried in cherry and will have strong ferment notes.
