Tasting notes

Takele Mommo Denbi spent years as Managing Director of the Yirgacheffe Coffee Farmers Cooperative Union, advocating for smallholding farmers across the region, including his own 8-hectare farm. This year, through Ethiopia's Single Farmer Lot Program, he was able to sell his harvest directly to exporters, bypassing the large cooperative blends that have historically defined how Ethiopian coffee reaches market. In the cup: dried strawberry opens with a punch, apricot rounds out the middle with a tart, honeyHoney processThe skin is removed but some sticky fruit mucilage is left on during drying. Lands between washed and natural: more sweetness and body than washed, cleaner than natural.-like sweetness, and rooibos tea brings it home with an earthy, comforting finish. Everything you want from a washedWashed processThe fruit is removed from the seed before drying, usually with fermentation and a water rinse. Tends to give clean, transparent cups where origin character shows clearly. Ethiopian.
