Our first Ethiopian coffee of 2026 is here. This coffee comes from Gedeb Banko Taratu, one of the highest elevated coffee growing areas in Ethiopia. This is gathered from many local farmers in the village to create this larger community lot.
The work from this community collaboration created a beautiful coffee. Mark is getting notes of pomegranate and white wine, whereas Sergei is getting peony, green grape, and tangerine. It's clean, sparkley, vibrant, and juicy.
Processing:
Double Fermentation Washed. What does this mean? After the cherries are picked, they're pulped and then placed in fermentation tanks with the mucilage. This first fermentation lasts about 48-72 hours. Coffee is washed and then undergoes another fermentation stage for 12-24 hours before going to the raised, drying beds.
