Description

MEET THE PRODUCER | Ethiopia is one of the only places in the world where the amount of land used to cultivate coffee is growing annually, rather than shrinking. This growth is driven primarily by specialty coffee interest in and demand for coffee from Ethiopia. As a result, entirely new coffee-growing regions are being established. Coffee grown in these new regions continues to surprise and excite us. The Refisa Washing Station represents 588 smallholder coffee farms and is located in the heart of the Nensebo district in the region of West Arsi. The Refisa Washing Station is already helping this region make a name for itself in the world of specialty coffee, as a third of the 2020 Cup of Excellence winners in Ethiopia came from the Nensebo district.

TRUST THE PROCESS | Ripe coffee cherries were picked and floated to remove defects, then washed and soaked for 5 hours. The washed coffee was fermented for 72 hours before being dried on raised beds for 9-11 days. 

TAKE A SIP | Sweet citrus flavors are the first thing you will notice about this coffee. Sugars developed in the roasting process nicely complement the inherent brightness of this washed coffee. What distinguishes this coffee from West Arsi from other regions is the fruit flavors we identify as fresh cherries. The cup profile is rounded out with even more honey sweetness and florality.
