3 key notes: [Jasmine, Peach, Lemon-Lime Soda]
We were delighted to host Omwani for an Ethiopian PSS cupping earlier in the year, as they work with an incredible exporter - Moata Raya's Mecota trading. Famous for the "Bensa Boys" group of Sidama single producers, this lot instead hails from a female producer in Guji - Banchi Geremew. Banchi runs a washing station in Guji, processing cherry from her own farm as well as outgrowers in the immediate area.
This is our last washed coffee for this Ethiopian season, in a year that was truly bereft of options - this one has landed as an absolute stunner, all the better for the request to vacuum pack our section of the lot.
We're tasting:
Absolutely classic washed Guji characteristics - punchy florals and citrus on the nose. In the cup we're finding navel orange, jasmine green tea, guava soda and lemongrass hot. As it cools becoming more peachy, with great acidity and a distinct lemon-lime fizzy soda note.
