Makuvivahteet: Lime, Earl grey -tee, vadelma
This coffee comes from Uraga district, which is known for its ‘garden’ style of coffee farming, with 674 growers in the Raro Boda kebele (neighbourhood) contributing to this lot. Situated at 1,950-2,250masl, the farms benefit from a deep red, rich and fertile soil. The trees grown are a mixture of heirloom varieties. The consistently high elevations of Uraga, typically between 2,000 and 2,300masl, mean an almost unparalleled potential for quality in the country. The Raro Boda washing station is owned and operated by Negusse Debela whose company, SNAP, took over management in 2019. It is situated at the peak of Uraga, at around 2,450masl. At this altitude above the coffee farms, the temperature is consistently cool, which allows the washed lots to dry slowly – from 10 to 14 days – resulting in a clean, clear taste and stable cup quality. Coffee fermentation here takes 72 hours.
