2025 Duwancho - Ethiopia

Duwancho has produced some of our highest-scoring Ethiopian lots from Arbegona. Long overshadowed by the more recognized region of Bensa, Arbegona has emerged in recent years as a source of some of the finest coffees in the world. In the cup we find watermelon, honeydew, and jasmine.

The 2025 Duwancho from Sey Coffee represents a distinct expression of the Ethiopia · Arbegona region. Coffees from this area are frequently celebrated for their vibrant, high-toned profiles, often characterized by delicate aromatics and crisp, clean acidity. When evaluating such profiles, tasters often look for the nuanced interplay between stone fruit and floral aromatics, which can be mapped using a flavor wheel to better identify specific sensory markers.

In this particular lot, the roaster highlights notes of watermelon, honeydew, and jasmine. While Ethiopian coffees are diverse, those processed with care often showcase a tea-like clarity that allows these specific fruit and floral characteristics to shine. By focusing on a light-handed roasting approach, the producer aims to preserve the inherent qualities of the harvest, offering a transparent look at the unique terroir found within the Arbegona district.
