Archival Release #54 - Layo Teraga 2024

A 2024 washed Reserve Lot from Ethiopia’s Layo Teraga washing station, sourced from the celebrated Guji zone. Unlike coffees from the west of Ethiopia where our Agaro partnership is located, this washed lot comes from the Guji zone, a well-known growing region in the south and home to other perennial favorites like Bookkisa and Shoondhisa. We still find all of the hallmark elegance of washed Ethiopian coffees in this lot: abundant white floral aromatics with juicy key lime, melon, and stone fruit in the cup.

The Archival Release #54 - Layo Teraga 2024, sourced by Passenger Coffee, represents a classic expression of the Ethiopia · Guji region. Processed at the Layo Teraga washing station, this lot utilizes the washed method, a technique often employed to highlight the inherent clarity and acidity of high-quality heirloom varieties. While washed coffees are frequently celebrated for their clean, vibrant profiles, this specific release showcases a nuanced interplay of white floral aromatics, bright key lime, and a delicate sweetness reminiscent of melon and stone fruit. When evaluating these characteristics, enthusiasts often consult the flavor wheel to better categorize the complex sensory experience typical of this origin. By focusing on precise processing, the Layo Teraga station emphasizes the distinct terroir of Guji, offering a refined cup that balances delicate floral notes with a crisp, fruit-forward finish.
