RED CURRANT - JUICYAcidityThe bright, lively, fruit-like sensation in coffee — praise, not a flaw. Citric sparkle, malic apple-crispness, tartaric wine notes; light roasts preserve more of it. - LEMONADE VarietyVariety (cultivar)The botanical subtype of the coffee plant — Gesha, Bourbon, SL28 — analogous to grape varieties in wine. A major driver of cup character alongside origin and process.: Dega & Wolisho Processing: 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. Altitude: 2100 m.a.s.l. Harvested: January 2026 Taste notes: Juicy and sweet with notes of red currant and lemonade Whole coffee beans roasted for filter. In december 2019 we left Gothenburg for a trip to Ethiopia. D uring our week there we traversed the birthplace of coffee and it's majestic mountains. We came to the Chelbesa station by motorcycle, due to heavy rains, and the contrast from our dockside roastery, right at sea level, to the incredible 2100 meters was stunning. Here the producers' neighbouring semi-forrest lots and gardens had some of the most even and beautifully deep red coffee cherries we saw all week. They were also some of the sweetest and most delicious ones we've ever tried, and the attention to detail while they were being sorted at the station was second to none. Adding all of this together, we just knew we had to share their coffee with you, and we are very proud to do so once again this year.
