Yirgacheffe, Ethiopia

Varietal: Hierloom

Processing Method: Fully Washed

The birthplace of coffee, Ethiopia, has given us yet another gem of a coffee. Here at the roastery we tend to favor naturally processed coffees due to their wacky profiles and flavors. This however was a exemplary washed coffee that we couldn’t leave hanging!

Processed at the Worka Sakaro washing station, this fully washed hierloom coffee has a rich stone fruit cup profile and delicate citric acidity. It’s a pleasure to share another delicious coffee from our favorite origin.

Roasters Notes:

The Worka Sakaro has an average density, and average moisture content. This means it roasts very well under our standard approach to washed coffees.

We aim for around 10.20min roast time - 2.40min of which in maillard and 1.10min in development.

This coffee was roasted on a Diedrich IR12.

Brewers Notes:

This washed coffee has a brilliant acidity which we want to retain as best as we can, so we approach it like this:

15 grams medium coarse ground / 225 ml water 96 degree water

30g bloom to 30 seconds / add to 80g / at 1:15 add to 125g / at 1:40 add to 225 - aiming for a draw down of 2:30-3 minutes.

For Espresso:

We drop the ratio back for this particular coffee to intensify its awesome acidity - if that doesn’t sound like your cup off coffee - use our regular 1:2.5 recipe.

I use a 1:2 Coffee / Water ratio for this as follows:

20g coffee / 40ml out / 27-30 seconds

Let us know how you go - but most importantly, enjoy!
