Ue.

A light espresso roast (medium-light) that also works with milk and as filter. Garden coffee from smallholders in Guji, delivered as cherry to exporter TRACON's washing station at Anasora and dried on African beds — a classic, full-on natural Ethiopia.

Red grape, raspberry, chocolate

Worka Chelbesa in Gedeb is one of the finest coffee areas of Gedeo, a semi-forest of coffee shaded by false banana. SNAP Specialty Coffee built a new wet mill near the Danche hamlet in 2019 to buy only fully ripe cherries from neighbouring farms; its ceramic fermentation tanks hold heat and give a clean cup. Noble, elegant and long — "THE Ethiopia".

Muscat, yellow peach, Earl Grey tea

Super fruity and so clean it could pass for a washed coffee. The Haro Batume cooperative in Yirgacheffe has about 2,000 members farming around 1.5 hectares each among fruit, vegetables and shade trees at very high altitude; since 2011 it has separated lots by area and station, sorting by screen size and focusing on ripe picking and drying.

Blueberry, pear, lavender

From Imperio Rojo in Rivas, at the foot of Mount Chirripó, founded by Don José and his wife Carla when the micro-mill movement was taking hold in Costa Rica. They chose to plant, grow and process their own coffee, and became one of the country's top producers of washed coffee — a rarity there. Sweet, cosy and autumnal.

Chamomile, graham cracker, marron glacé

A fruit basket of tropical aromas. Jhoan Vergara of Finca Las Flores, who took over his grandfather's farm at 24, runs a washing station that selects ripe cherries from farms in Acevedo and Pitalito to build this original lot, aiming for clean, approachable Huila coffee in larger volumes alongside his top microlots.

Raspberry, golden kiwi, papaya

A light espresso roast (medium-light), floral and a little tropical. Smallholders in Nensebo, West Arsi hand-pick ripe cherries for the local washing station, where they are pulped, fermented 36–48 hours, washed in spring water and dried on raised African beds for up to two weeks.
