Here's how we brewed this classic washed Ethiopia you’re craving is today’s drop: Girma Sentayehu by Coava!
Coava sourced this coffee comes from a project that finds exceptional, traceable lots from small farmers who don’t own processing mills. Girma Sentayehu’s 6-hectare farm sits adjacent to a river and its steady supply of fresh water is ideal for producing stellar washed process coffees. We tasted elegant notes of peach, jasmine, brown butter, and a fresh cherry finish.
