Two years ago, Khalid built a new wet mill on his farm. He is now able to produce washed coffees whereas before we were only able to buy natural- and honey processed coffees from him. Interestingly I find his washed coffee to be much more expressive and flavourful with more of the classic citrus, stone fruit and floral flavours that is so common for the best Ethiopian coffees. In the 2021 harvest we were able to separate all the different pickings / batches of washed coffee that Khalid produced. We were able to taste them separately and purchase the ones we liked the best. Although the lots we bought taste very similar to one another it was important to separate each batch as we were able to reject one batch that did not meet our quality standard. In previous years, Khalid would bulk-blend all his batches together in to one lot of coffee which is more risky as one bad batch might affect the quality of the bulked lot. This coffee has a slight less intense acidity compared to a lot of other washed Ethiopian coffees we have offered over the years, but it does not mean it is not packed full of flavour. I love how this coffee changes in flavour as it’s temperature drops, so make sure you taste it at different temperatures for maximum enjoyment.
