ethiopia coffee
by five ways coffee roasters · amsterdam, netherlands
you'll taste lemon before grapefruit. this is ethiopia - shakiso - washed - guji, a washed ethiopia from five ways coffee roasters.
it leads with lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest, with a winey quality alongside jasmine and floral notes. the finish is tea-like, sitting closer to black tea than to heavy fruit or chocolate.
it comes from the shakiso area within ethiopia's guji region and is washed processed, meaning the coffee fruit is removed before drying, which produces a cleaner, brighter cup than natural or honey methods.
the clean, citrus-forward, tea-like character of a washed guji typically shines brightest through filter methods such as pour over or v60, where lighter roasts can be brewed with precision to highlight acidity and floral notes.
