Pineapple · Stonefruit · Melon · Fruity
Origin: Bookkisa, Guji Highlands, Ethiopia
Expression: Sweet
Varieties: Gibirinna 74110 and Serto 74112
Process: Washed
The birthplace, the motherland ; not just of us meddling humans, but also coffee. The plant, the fruit, the drink, the culture all begins in the wild and fertile hills of Ethiopia.
Every year we choose to showcase two coffees representing the past, present and future of Ethiopian coffee. After years of delicious and expressive offerings, we've found a favourite region: the village of Bookkisa in the Guji Highlands. For the second year we're excited to offer two distinctly different coffees from the producers of this remarkable region.
This coffee is processed in the most traditional and authentic way – naturally dried whole fruit on raised beds. This is the manner in which all coffee was processed until some point in the 18th century. The fruit dries around the seed, leaving concentrated sugars and byproducts of fermentation. When done with care, the results are astounding: big, sweet, fruity and floral.
Exporter: Sookoo Coffee; Ture, "the king of Guji", and Assefa Waji
Importer: Osito
