Gerse

Summary

A washed Ethiopian single origin filter coffee from the Gerse Kebele in the Yirgacheffe, Gedeo zone, grown at 2,000-2,200 masl in clay soil shaded by Wanza, Girar and Weyira trees. The lot is made up of local landrace and heirloom varieties. Ripe cherries are purchased from smallholders, pre-sorted, pulped with a local Agard machine, density-sorted by floating, then fermented in concrete tanks for 48-72 hours depending on weather. Washing takes place in channels before the parchment dries on raised beds with further hand sorting. The cup is sweet and jammy with notes of blueberry jam, raspberry ripple and golden syrup.
