Ethiopia Sidamo (Washed)

• Country: Ethiopia
• Region: Sidamo
  
• Cooperative: Kilenso Mokanesa  (Oromia Coffee Farmers Cooperative Union)

This extremely high elevation coffee is refreshing with a semi-bright acidity which carries a trailing flavor of fresh squeezed lemonade. As it cools, peach and lemon myrtle notes hover in the nose of the cup. The acidity is just a bit lighter than the washed Yirgacheffe and the body is a bit deeper.  Compared to the unwashed Sidamo, this cup is cleaner and more pointed from the start with less body.  We love to French Press this coffee. However, using the "24 hour cold steeping" brewing process produces an exotic elixir of unfathomable goodness. The 2009 harvest is our first direct purchase from this beautiful group of producers and sets the platform for a future of positive collaboration.  Check out the Ethiopian trip report for more on this group.
