Process: Washed
Notes: Apricot, Iris, Blackcurrant

Nothing excites us more than the release of a new washed Ethiopian here at Root & Branch, and this one from the Guji region really excels. This region has developed a distinguished reputation for fine coffees, producing some of the most sought-after microlots in world and Guji Uraga is definitely one you'll want to seek out.

This grade 1 fully washed microlot is from Uraga Solomo drying station & is sourced from 335 local smallholder farmers cultivating at altitudes between 2,100 and 2,300masl. Guji Uraga utilises a traditional fully washed process, whereby ripe cherries are carefully selected via handpicking and floatation, de-pulped on the day of harvest, fermented for around 36 hours and then thoroughly washed to remove any remaining mucilage. The coffee, still in its husk (parchment) is then dried in the sun on raised African beds for 12-15 days depending on ambient conditions.

With notes of Apricot, Iris and Blackcurrant, Guji Uraga is giving classic washed Ethiopian and is a coffee you do not want to miss.
