TASTING NOTES
Fragrance and aroma of strawberry and matcha green tea with flavors of strawberry, chocolate and yogurt with an aftertaste of orange and florals and a honey-like sweetness. Bright malic and lactic acidity with a creamy mouthfeel and heavy body.
ROASTING NOTES
Versatile from light to medium. At light roasts the berry and fruit notes shine (about 100-105 Agtron). Medium roasts will accentuate more cooked fruit notes and that chocolate note.
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.
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.
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.
