ETHIOPIA GORAA - ORGANIC
Sweet coffee with notes tea, plum and lemon
Goraa is the name of the sub bekele (a smaller area of a larger municipality) where the Goraa group of farmers are located. The Goraa village is part of the bigger area called Uddo Hadamma.This natural lot has been assembled thanks to the contribution of the 25 farmers that live in the village of Goraa. All of these farmers are growing the Gibirrina/Serto variety (74110 & 74112), which are locally selected from Guji for their disease resistant qualities. This coffee grows beneath the canopy of indigenous trees on rich loam soil typical of the luscious hills of the Guji zone. Smallholders’ farms are on average around 2.5 ha only and are exclusively growing coffee. All of these farmers are trained in agronomy and post-harvest practices by the "King of Guji", Ture Waji, who is also managing the dry mills in the area.

Positiivisella tavalla helppo vaalea espresso. Vadelmainen, sopivasti happoa.
Miellyttävä vadelmaisuus on tässä parasta.
Tarvitsee aika karkean jauhatuksen, muuten uuttoaika on pitkä ja kitkeryyttä tulee helposti. Hyviä kupillisia on tullut, kun jauhatus on osunut kohdalleen. Vadelman sävyt löytyy onnistuneessa kupissa hyvin, mutta jauhatus on ollut tuolloin 6 pykälää tavallista karkeammalla Comandantessa.
Olen kokeillut useita Etiopialaisia kahveja monilta paahtajilta, ja Inka paahtimon Etiopia Birbirsa on ehdottomasti yksi suosikeistani. Se on myös lähiaikoina eniten ostamani, sillä sen hinta-laatu suhde on erinomainen. Maussa on pirteä hapokkuus ja paljon makeutta, tuoksussa kypsää vadelmaa ja trooppista hedelmää. On tullut todella hyviä espressoja ja aeropressejä. Paahto on tasainen, hieman tyypillistä kevytpaahtoa tummempi. Suosittelen vahvasti!
Brewed a cup with a V60. Very strong notes of fruit and berries. Not bitter at all. Tasted almost like tea, in a good way. Brewed my second cup with a slightly finer grind and hotter, almost boiling water and it made the taste stand out a bit more. Still gonna try out some different brewing methods to find my favourite for this one. Def recommended for fans of light roasts.
Thanks Olli for a great review. I have to try this hotter water myself. We have been able to improve profile of this coffee a lot since the beginning. First we couldn't find nice notes, but now it almost beats our fanciest coffees. Producer also cupped it really high, so they knew what they were talkin about.
