ETHIOPIA KERAMO WASHED #932

Curator's Notes

When we first tasted this amazing, fruit-forward Ethiopian coffee, we knew it stood apart from the rest. We didn't know that, at 92 points, Coffee Review would select it as one of this year's best coffees from the Pacific Northwest! But of course they did. Vibrant and sugary sweet, this is a bowl of candy for your mug. Notes of tropical guava and sugar-dusted peach rings accompany a sparkling, effervescent acidity. The long, syrupy finish lingers in your mouth like a gummy bear. Freshly-roasted from Dapper & Wise Coffee Roasters in Portland, Oregon, this 92-scoring Ethiopia Keramo is one of the most distinctive, sweetest washed Ethiopians we’ve ever tasted.

Roaster's Notes

Keramo lies high in the beautiful Bombe mountains, so remotely situated that it lacks its own washing station. The growers processed their coffees through the Bombe washing station, and the results became a standout favorite on the cupping table. Catalyst Trade Quality and Sourcing Director, Michael McIntyre, says, "The Keramo is one of the best coffees I've ever had in my life. It is so aromatic, so herbal, fruity, floral—while still delicate and resonating at the same time."
