Ethiopia Gedeb Worka Sakaro

Ethiopia Gedeb Worka Sakaro

This is a classic example of washed coffee from Gedeb: clean and tea-like with subtle orange fruit and sweetness. In our cafe, we are brewing it simply as a filter coffee and pulling it as single-origin espresso as well. It is remarkable for an Ethiopian, subtle and complex when taken black but substantial and sweet enough to stand up to cream and sugar. 

The Worka Sakaro Washing Station is located in the Gedio zone, working with over 400 smallholder farmers in the region. Picked when the coffees reach optimum ripeness, they are then washed and dried on raised beds for 18 to 21 days.
