LIGHT ROAST

8oz. whole bean coffee

Wush wush is a village in the Keffa region of Ethiopia and also an heirloom variety of coffee (named for that village, of course). With Wush Wush gaining popularity in the specialty coffee world, and that's for a good reason – it’s bright, sweet and super juicy!

This coffee comes from renowned coffee veteran Israel Degafa. Israel and his team upped the ante with this microlot with a proprietary anaerobic fermentation he calls “alcoholic”. You can already guess this one’s gonna be winey! So after a grade 1 sorting of the best cherries, he places them in airtight bags in a cool environment to ferment for 4 days (96 hours). During this fermentation period, the coffee cherries are checked frequently to ensure fermentation is progressing according to Israel’s strict protocols. Finally, the cherries are finished drying on raised beds in the sun in the natural or dry processing tradition.

The result is a fruit bomb with lovely, crisp acidity and a dry, winey finish. It’s got a silky, smooth body, good balance and makes for a surprisingly clean cup despite the intense fermentation.

Flavor
Strawberry lemonade along with notes of juicy blackberry and sugar cane. A white wine finish, a little funky and super juicy!
