This year is our first year buying coffee from Testi Coffee but, provided they maintain the quality of green they supply in years to come, it certainly won't be the last. Testi's practice of separating lots, on arrival at the mill, means that there's tonnes of opportunities for truly spectacular coffee to be given the attention it deserves.

The Yaye Washing Station is in the centre of Sidama and the coffee presents itself as the very best of what the region offers. There's a tonne of winey acidity and blackberry fruit upfront, made even better by the incredible processing at the mill. Sidama is known for its intensely fruity profile and old Josie heads will know that we've always had a soft spot for coffees from the area.


We feel very lucky to be able to offer so many incredible coffees from Ethiopia this year and the Testi Coffee company has made that possible.
