The last in this years long line of lots we purchased from Testi Coffee is by no means the least. This coffee, from Gara Agena Station in Sidama, is one of their "Special Prep" lots. These coffees are separated on arrival at the mill, dependent on the exceptional quality of the coffee, and processed, dried and milled independently in order to maximise the potential of the cherry. We've had excellent success with these coffees and have enjoyed the way they present both the "classic" qualities of Ethiopian coffee and the modern fermentation artefacts alongside one another. Truly a testament to the recent advances in coffee fermentation and the work of the Testi mills to achieve this balance.
In the cup we find lots of the rich brown sugar we associate with high quality washed process coffees, a pleasant yellow stone fruit flavour and aroma that remind us of peach.
