Zero Defect Ethiopia, Wuri, Washed

Classic coffees from Ethiopia are fortunately straightforward to find; however, this specially prepared one goes through numerous steps to remove any defects--called grade zero. A flavor combination of lemon icing, raspberry lemonade and candied roses make for a perfect February coffee.

The Story

Wuri means “high elevation" and was grown by a special group of smallholder farmers living above 2000 meters in the Worka-Sakaro neighborhood, organized around the innovative Wuri washing station which focuses on quality and experimentation such as the separation of this coffee based on farm elevation. It is soaked in clean water after washing, pulping and fermenting then dried on raised beds. We selected this coffee and it’s natural processed companion lot to showcase a side-by-side view of the two main processing methods.
