Coffee Description
Succulently sweet, this coffee has a very clean profile, balanced with both delicate and bold flavors. First sip is sweet and tart like a sugared lemon treat, then becomes densely sweet: think ripe mango. Delicate florals show in the lingering, mellow finish.

About Smallholder producers of Ethiopia
This lovely coffee grows high on the hills of the Guji zone, Oromia region, an area renowned for the quality and flavor of its coffees. Near the village of Yabitu Koba is a washing station by the same name. Yabitu Koba mill, managed by Feku Jebril, specializes in washed coffees.
Every morning during coffee harvest, growers spend their time selectively picking ripe coffee cherries by hand and hauling them to the mill. Afternoons are generally spent depulping and processing those freshly picked cherries and setting them for an initial soaking of 24-48 hours. A second soaking in fresh water for about 4 hours finishes the washing process, and then the green beans are spread out on raised beds to dry.
