ethiopia coffee
by building 3 coffee · colorado springs, usa
expect hibiscus. this is ethiopia wush wush, a natural ethiopia from building 3 coffee.
ethiopia wush wush carries hibiscus as its primary tasting note, pointing toward a floral, tart, and fruit-forward cup. the natural process typically deepens that berry-like quality.
this coffee comes from ethiopia and is made from the wush wush varietal, a relatively rare ethiopian cultivar. it is processed naturally, meaning the whole cherry is dried around the bean before milling.
a pour-over or aeropress approach works well here, using water around 90-93°c and a medium-fine grind to highlight the hibiscus floral notes without over-extracting. keep brew time controlled to preserve clarity in the cup.
...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.
