Espresso: Ethiopia Sidama - Deri Kochoha

We started a new Single Origin Espresso today. It's Ethiopia Sidama - Deri Kochoha.


This Single Origin offering if from the Deri Kochoha washing station in Oromia, south of Yirga Cheffe. Some 600 farmer-members contribute to this lot, where it undergoes traditional hand-sorting and raised bed drying. their skill and attention to detail has given us an excellent coffee to work with. This coffee was roasted to three separate profiles and post-blended to increase depth and complexity in the cup.

In the cup it's layered apricot, peach, and orange blossom notes up front with a toffee-caramel candy sweetness, and a smooth and lasting cocoa finish. Bomb diggity good!
