- Fragrance and aroma of mixed berries, notes of strawberry and baker’s chocolate with a sweet aftertaste of yogurt, mandarin orange and pomegranate. Bright and complex acidity showing malic, citric and pleasant acetic character. Creamy mouthfeel and medium-heavy body. Well balanced and delicious!
- Versatile from light to medium-dark. At light roasts the berry and yogurt notes shine (about 100-105 Agtron). Medium-dark roasts will bring out the syrupy mouthfeel and mute the tart acidity while maintaining fruit notes (about 75-65 Agtron).
The A.A.S.H. Nensebo washing station is owned and operated by the Yonis family
We have had the pleasure of buying coffees from Faysel Yonis for more than a decade. Their friendship and their coffees are always something to look forward to!
Nearly 850 smallholder family farmers
surrounding the Werka village deliver freshly picked coffee to Testi’s Nensebo washing station in the Nensebo district, located in the West Arsi zone. Each farmer has an average of 2-5 hectares of certified organic coffee and typically will manage and pick their own coffee and immediately transport it to the Nensebo station.
In the natural process, cherries are floated in water as a quality check to remove “floaters” and then spread over raised beds to dry. The coffee is constantly rotated on the beds to ensure even drying, and any under ripe cherries are picked out during the drying process. Drying time for this coffee is approximately 15-18 days depending on the weather.
We are blown away by the cup profile of this coffee! The perfect growing conditions, and attention to detail from the organic cultivation and picking to the processing, all come together to produce a beautifully unique cup.
