Context

The Ethiopia Okoluu, sourced by Kickapoo Coffee, represents the vibrant profile characteristic of the Guji region. This specific lot undergoes a washed process, a method often employed to highlight the inherent acidity and clean, crisp clarity of the bean. By removing the fruit flesh before drying, producers can emphasize the delicate, nuanced characteristics of the coffee cherry.

In the cup, this selection presents bright, citrus-forward notes of nectarine and lime peel, balanced by the subtle sweetness of honeydew. These descriptors align with the bright, acidic profiles frequently associated with high-quality Ethiopian exports. To better understand how these specific flavors are categorized and identified during professional evaluation, readers may consult the flavor wheel.
