This spectacular lot is a single origin blend of two varieties—Kurume and Wolisho, both of which are named after trees indigenous to the country. If that didn’t speak enough to the inherently Ethiopian nature of this cup, its characteristic notes of fruit-forward pear and robust citrus certainly do. This was all made possible by the Hadeso washing station owned by Testi Coffee. There, the lot was sorted, graded, pulped and fermented for 36–48 hours to intensify the cup’s body and sweetness.
