This coffee originates from the Gedeb region of Ethiopia, just south of Yirgacheffe, produced at the Worka Wuri washing station. Built in 2012, the station processes heirloom varieties grown at 1900 meters above sea level using a washed process. The 2025 harvest delivers a classic washed Ethiopian profile with flavors of peach melba, green tea character, and blood orange, alongside delicate floral sweetness. The coffee reflects the quality-driven approach that has emerged in southern Ethiopia as producers have moved beyond traditional cooperative models to seek greater control over quality and traceability.
