The Wush Wush varietal is one of Ethiopia's most prized and rare coffee treasures, named after the town in the Bench Maji zone where it was first discovered. This particular lot comes from farmers working at extreme elevations in the Oromia region, where the unique terroir creates exceptional complexity. What makes this coffee extraordinary is the 120-hour extended dry fermentation process. After selective harvesting of only the ripest cherries, they undergo a controlled anaerobic fermentation in sealed containers for five full days before being moved to raised drying beds. This extended fermentation develops the explosive fruit-forward characteristics and wine-like complexity that Wush Wush is celebrated for: our notes are blueberry, mango, and milk chocolate.

Behind Ethiopia Wush Wush

Naturally-processed coffees are risky: whole, dried tropical fruit, laying out in the sun to become a raisin – for weeks. To do it right, this coffee must be monitored, turned, tested and sorted. All of this redounds to the citric, berry, sweet, and syrupy flavors in the cup, especially as it cools. Fantastic alone or with a fresh-baked good.
