Wush Wush, Ethiopia

Introducing another stunning offering from our Ethiopian selections this year.  

This is a fairly rare variety called Wush Wush, which is an Ethiopian native variety, but made popular in Colombia.  The coffee comes from the Guji zone, near the town of Yirba Muda Ethiopia, and it is meticulously processed at the Ana Sora washing station, which is owned by Israel Degefa, who owns 35 washing stations in the country.  This particular station is one of the highest elevations in Guji.  Although not certified, this is is also an organic coffee!  After last year's Wush Wush sold out in 2 weeks, we knew we had to buy more, and are extremely pleased to present this stunning lot!  This coffee wonderful stone fruit and wild flavors.

A natural process single origin coffee from Ethiopia.

Sourced from the Guji region of Ethiopia, this Wush Wush lot is produced by Israel Degefa. The coffee is grown at elevations between 1800 and 2300 masl and features the Heirloom varietal, which is widely celebrated for its genetic diversity and complex cup profiles. As a natural-processed coffee, this selection highlights the distinct character often found in Ethiopian harvests, where the fruit is dried in contact with the bean to encourage deep sweetness and vibrant acidity.

Roasted by Elixr Coffee, this specific offering presents a bright and nuanced profile characterized by notes of cherry cola, white grape, and lime zest. When evaluating such distinct flavor profiles, it is helpful to reference a flavor wheel to better identify the interplay between the fruit-forward sweetness and the citrus-toned acidity. This lot serves as a compelling example of the unique terroir found within the high-altitude landscapes of the Guji zone.
