Tasting NotesTasting notesThe flavors a roaster perceives in the cup — 'jasmine, apricot, black tea'. Descriptive associations, not ingredients: nothing is added to the coffee.: Purple grape, champagne, & crisp Washing StationWashing stationA central mill where many smallholder farmers deliver cherry for processing. In Ethiopia, Kenya, and Rwanda the station name (e.g. Idido) often identifies the coffee.: Moplaco Bensa Region: Sidamo Varietal: HeirloomHeirloom (Ethiopia)A catch-all label for Ethiopia's thousands of indigenous, largely uncatalogued coffee varieties — used when a lot's exact genetics are unknown. Process: 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. Relationship Since: 2020 Recipes: Espresso: 1:2.5 | Filter: 1:17 About: Even among the legendary players of Ethiopia, Moplaco’s Heleanna Georgalis and her father, Yiannis, stand out. Since her father's passing, Heleanna, has taken the reigns of the Moplaco Washing Station with gusto. Through years of hard work and meticulous focus, she produces some of the brightest, most complex coffees we’ve ever tasted. This beautiful washed coffee is fermented in tanks for 36 hrs, before drying on raised beds for 11-15 days. Roasting days: Proud Mary roast Monday-Friday during normal business hours. To ensure freshness of coffee, best to order early in the week as postal services and couriers do not operate on weekends. Orders: placed by 8.00am PST will be roasted and dispatched the same day. If you are ordering on a Friday, and order after 8.00am then your coffee will be roasted the following business day - Monday.
