Producer: Multiple Smallholders
Process: Washed

Tasting Notes: Apricot, Jasmine, Milk Chocolate
Our first release is here! A proper, quintessential Ethiopian coffee. Expect big pitted fruit notes and floral aromatics, lemon acidity, and a sweet, creamy finish.
This coffee really shines as a filter brew but also pulls a balanced, well bodied shot of espresso that accepts milk surprisingly well. So much so that our friends at The Winding House in Bridgenorth will be serving it for the next few months, so pop down and see them if you want to try before you buy!
ABOUT THE PRODUCERS
From Covoya:
"This is a grade 1 washed coffee from Banko Gotiti wetmill in Kochere district, in the Yirgacheffe coffee region. The mill, managed by Alemu Bukato, processes cherries from around 650 local farmers.
We have been buying from Banko Gotiti every season for many years now and it is consitently one of our top cupping Ethiopian coffees, testament to the excellence of its processing regimen and the hard work of the farming community supplying the mill.
Over a number of years the region has developed a distinguised reputation for fine coffees, producing some of the most sought-after microlots in the world. The combination of high altitude (up to 2,200m in some areas), fertile soil, consistent and plentiful rains, and an abundance of local knowledge are all contributing factors to the high status of Yirgacheffe coffees. The indigenous ‘heirloom’ varietals - which grow wild in Ethiopia - are responsible for the unique flavour notes which make for an unusual but beautifully refined cup, characterised by strong citric acidity, sweet chocolate and floral/herbal notes of lavender, jasmine, bergamot and thyme."
