- Fragrance and aroma of jasmine and yuzu with up front notes of cocoa, honeysuckle and rue with a clean aftertaste of cane sugar, yuzu, white chocolate and dark chocolate. The acidity is bright and complex with citric, malic and lactic acidity noted. Medium, tea-like body.
- The small seeds and high density of this coffee can take some heat in the beginning of the roast, but require special care in the second half of the roast to avoid taking off with too much momentum. The complexity of this coffee is best expressed at light roasts (about 100 to 115 Agtron).
Premium washed process
The premium washed processed coffees are depulped within 8 hours after picking and the mucilage-covered parchment is submerged in water for a 36 to 48 hour fermentation. After most of the mucilage is consumed, the coffee is fully washed in canals with running water until the water is completely transparent and all of the mucilage is completely removed from the parchment.
After washing, this premium coffee is dried on raised beds under a shade net for 5 to 7 days. The coffee is then moved inside a nearby warehouse for final homogenization and resting until it is ready to be transported to the dry mill.
Giving back through Project Direct
Testi Trading makes significant investments in the communities that they operate in through their Project Direct initiatives. So far the construction has been completed for multiple primary schools and even the first high school in the town of Hamasho, a small town in Sidama.
A team effort
The Huke washing station receives cherries from more than 600 growers around the Gotiti kebele!
The site is owned by Testi Trading and operated by the Yonis family and their team. We have had the pleasure of buying coffees from Faysel Yonis since 2015 and the coffee never disappoints!
