About Smallholder producers of Ethiopia
Kaffa is the land where the famed goatherd, Kaldi, was said to have discovered coffee. No wonder, with the land and the people steeped in 12 centuries of coffee culture, that offerings from here are out of the ordinary. The famed Geisha variety originated here, as did this coffee, Wush Wush, a local variety with similar flavor to Geisha, and named after the village of Wush Wush.
This past year, processor Tariku Alemu, with the assistance and oversight of Portland, OR-based Catalyst Coffee Consulting, gave this particular lot some extra TLC. They cleaned and calibrated screen sizes 13-17 to focus the range to include the most flavorful beans, then followed with meticulous sorting and processing for this intensely flavored offering.
