Tasting Notes: Complex, crisp, raspberry & lime
Ethiopia has always been one of our favourite origins here at Horsebox Coffee Company, for coffees that are wild, complex and distinctive. This washed Yirgacheffe certainly doesn’t disappoint.
From £7.50
Gedeo extends south from the Sidama zone and is surrounded by the Oromia region, with Guji bordering to the east. It is situated in the Ethiopian Highlands, which has little altitude below 1500 masl, and is home to Ras Dashen, Ethiopia's highest mountain in Ethiopia and the tenth highest in Africa.
The Haru Cooperative has been part of the Yirgacheffe Coffee Farmers' Cooperative Union since 2003. Founded to bring better connections to the farmers with the outside market, and better quality to the market from the farmers, the YCFCU now has 23 member cooperatives.
The coffee from this cooperative is a little unusual in that it is wet processed as usual before very often being subjected to a second soak after processing, in a way similar to the Kenyans. This should create an extra clean coffee and often lends itself to improved clarity and complexity in the cup. The varieties themselves are often referred to as heirloom, although high genetic diversity means that what is heirloom in one area is not guaranteed to have the same characteristics as an heirloom from another region. Kumie is often labelled as yirgacheffe or yirgacheffe type, and is quite a small bean.
