Context
This washed Ethiopian from Flat Track Coffee sources from the Banko Taratu Site in the renowned Yirgacheffe region of Gedeo Zone. Grown at 1,900–2,300 meters, this Bourbon varietal carries the clean, bright character typical of fully washed coffees from this storied origin. The roaster identifies peach, black tea, and lemon zest—a profile that anchors the cup in stone fruit and delicate floral-adjacent notes rather than heavier sweetness. This elevation and processing approach typically yield the clarity and tea-like body Yirgacheffe is celebrated for.
