Ethiopia Kello Wete Konga #1

Coffee Story

The Konga village is home to many coffee farmers who cultivate small plots of land, typically 1 to 2 hectares in size, where they grow not only coffee but also bananas, maize, and other crops.

The coffee cherries are handpicked and then processed at the Wete Kebele washing station. Thanks to the careful approach of both farmers and processors, coffees with an exceptionally clean and complex profile are produced here.

The Taste Idea

" With this lot, we wanted to highlight the classic washed Yirgacheffe character. Elegant, floral and clean. It reminds us white florals, yellow plums sweetness accompanied by rhubarb like acidity and finished with raspberry finish. "
