About This Coffee
The Region
The kebele (village) of Koke is located in Yirgacheffe district, Gedeo zone in the ‘Southern Nations, Nationalities & Peoples’ (SNNP) region of Ethiopia. Over a number of years the region has developed a distinguised reputation for fine coffees, producing some of the most sought-after microlots in world. The combination of high altitude (up to 2,200m in some areas), fertile soil, consistent and plentiful rains, and an abundance of local knowledge are all contributing factors to the high status of Yirgacheffe coffees.
The local indigenous ‘heirloom’ varietals - which grow wild in Ethiopia - are responsible for the unique flavour notes which make for an unusual but refined cup. When processed naturally through sun drying these present with juicy and jammy stone-fruit flavours, floral and chocolate notes with a creamy body.
The Process
Cherries are carefully harvested by hand, then further hand picked and also separated via water floatation to remove over or underripe cherries. Selected cherries are then fermented in selaed tanks in a cold environment for at least 48 hours, followed by sun-drying on raised African beds for 25-27 days.
