Roaster's Choice Subscription

New Coffee for February, Aricha Adorsi, Ethiopia

Would you like one of the best coffee roasters in the UK to select your beans every month? Each month Claire Wallace (3rd place winner of World Barista Championships) sources one new coffee for you to try each month, and hand roasts it to bring out the finest flavours. From the first delivery, you'll begin to discover a whole world of speciality coffee...

In the recent months, we've tasted coffees from Honduras, Nicaragua, Uganda, Kenya and Guatemala. Where's next... ?

• Origin: Ethiopia
• Region: Aricha, Gedeo
• Varietal: Kerume, Heirloom
• Process: Washed
  

Sourced from the Gedeo region of southern Ethiopia, this exceptional washed coffee is a real standout. Grown by smallholder farmers in the village of Aricha at altitudes of 1,900–2,100 metres, the area’s high-altitude microclimate gives the coffee its bright, fruit-forward and tea-like character.

The coffee is made up of Kerume and Heirloom varieties, showcasing the country’s rich coffee diversity. Cherries are hand-picked and carefully sorted before being depulped and fermented for around 100 hours. They are then dried on raised beds for 15 days, turned regularly to ensure an even, consistent dry.

In the cup, you’ll find plenty of flavours associated with washed Ethiopians - juicy notes of peach and tangerine, balanced with delicate Earl Grey tea notes and brown sugar sweetness. 

We recommend pairing with: Lemon shortbread
