ethiopia wush wush is a single-origin coffee from ethiopia, produced from the wush wush varietal and processed naturally, meaning the coffee cherries are dried whole before milling. natural processing tends to amplify fruit-forward character, and here that shows up as hibiscus, a floral, tart, berry-edged quality. building 3 coffee roasts this one, and given its delicate varietal and processing style, it responds well to gentler brew methods that preserve clarity and fragrance, such as pour-over or aeropress with water around 90-93°c. grind medium-fine and avoid over-extraction, which can muddy the floral top notes.

about building 3 coffee

...and that's the thing about coffee culture here. building 3 sits on north cascade, where the foothills start their gentle climb toward the mountains. you can feel the altitude working on your system, which makes finding a proper roaster all the more essential. they've carved out a reputation among people who know their beans from their blends. no pretense, just careful attention to what ends up in the cup. the regulars keep coming back because consistency matters when you're dealing with something as finicky as specialty coffee. mornings here have a different rhythm than what you'll find downtown. quieter, maybe. more focused on the actual coffee than the scene around it. their roasting approach leans toward bringing out what's already there in the beans rather than burying it under heavy manipulation. simple concept, harder execution than most places manage. the pour-over on a tuesday morning hits different when someone actually cares about water temperature.
