This coffee was grown by farmers in the Kokolla Co-op, part of the Kata Muduga Union. The community-oriented union strives to improve the life standards of its members, as well as producing some of the country’s best coffees. The elevation and cool nights in Ethiopia’s southwestern highlands allow coffee cherries to develop slowly, resulting in a concentrated sweetness and complexity. The “cooked peach” note on the bag is right on the money. We tasted peach, sugar, and baking spices, with a delicate body and a light stone fruit acidity.
