West Arsi | Nansebo | Ethiopia

This washed process from Ethiopia hits you upfront with a bright, yet delicate, acidity and leaves with a lingering sweetness. It has floral notes and feels light on the tongue, hence the rose and apple soda flavors. The pineapple really shines in the aftertaste. Great as a pour-over or espresso, just don’t drown out the delicate complex flavors with too much milk!

The Nansebo region is home to many small-lot farmers who farm a variety of wheat, teff, Enset, and coffee. This washing station purchases the indigenous heirloom cultivar cherries from 480 different small-lot farmers and processes them together to produce several lots of complex coffee. This washing station is making a name for itself as it wins awards with its high-quality cherries and raised drying beds..
