Werka Washed | Nensebo, West Arsi
Grown by farmers near the kebele of Werka, in the up and coming region of West Arsi, this standout coffee was processed at Testi’s Aash washing station. With a crisp acidity and syrupy body, along with notes of meyer lemon, green apple and almond nougat, this coffee excels across all roast styles and applications!
Ayla Bombe Washed | Bensa, Sidama
Located in the region of Bensa, Ayla produces exceptional washed lots using the nearby Bonora river as its main source of fresh water for processing. Produced using cherry delivered by outgrowers from the kebele of Bombe, this coffee is bright and juicy, with great clarity and strcture, and notes of green grape, lemon lime and white peach.
Jigesa Natural | Shakisso, Guji
Established in 2014, Jigesa was the first washing station built by longtime supply partner Testi Specialty Coffee. The refined acidity of Jigesa’s lots always stands out on the cupping table, and gives elegance to this naturally-processed coffee. With mango, blueberry and vanilla, Jigesa Natural is a balanced and clean offering — and we’re thrilled to be offering it for another year!
Hadeso Natural | Shakisso, Guji
We always get excited when we feature offerings from crowd-favourite Hadeso washing station, as they produce incredibly textural and complex lots. With a floral aroma and rich dark chocolate sweetness, this naturally processed coffee is sweet and jammy, with notes of red grape and plum.
