Anoxic Natural, Gesha, Lightest Roaster Influence - Best for Filter. Turbo-espresso or pourover
3 key notes: [Blueberry Jam, Tropical, Lavender]
We welcome Yoiner to the offer after he took over his Aunt Marisela's Rosado plot, and with it we swiftly became fans of his work. While Colombia harvests biannually, Yoiners Gesha tends to only produce an exportable crop once a year - and this lot absolutely jumped off the table at us tasting like an old-school natty eth. We're thinking of 2018 Banko Gotiti natural as a particularly specific reference
All the berry, tropical, floral notes we expect from the concept of a natty Eth, yet distinctly also a Colo Gesha. Banger
We're tasting:
Raspberry jam aromatics alongside lavender and honeysuckle. In the cup it's straight blueberry jam, with tropical notes of soursop, papaya and ripe guava, alongside lemon zest and a hint of coriander seed, super juicy and long. As it cools the florals become more defined, and the blueberry note persists hot to cold.
Traditional Washed, JARC Cultivars and Jimma Landraces, Lightest Roaster Influence - Best for Filter/Pourover/Turbo Espresso
3 key notes: [Peach Iced Tea, Lemon Bun, Wildflowers]
Simon and Merlith's farm is in the Jaén province, planted in early 2020 with Ethiopian landrace and JARC lines alongside the more "classic" Latin American cultivars, with roughly half the property preserved as primary forest. Working as Falcon's country manager, Simon's years of quality improvement work with Peruvian smallholders led him to permanently relocate in 2019. His previous role as Head of Sourcing for Falcon gave him the global connections to obtain seedstock with germlines from Jimma, Sidama and Yirgacheffe, hence the name Las Etiopes ("The Ethiopians").
We’re tasting:
Super bright and sweet aromas - lemon curd, fresh white florals and butterscotch. In the cup the first impression is of peach iced tea, with a buttery body, layered florals and supporting notes of dried apricots, chamomile and lemongrass. As it cools that buttery caramel note becomes quite brioche-y, with the lemon curd it give the distinct impression of lemon iced buns.
Tasting notes Rose hip, bergamot & iced tea

About beans:
Sewda Natural Coffee Processing Wet Mill, where this Sawana lot comes from, is located in the region of Oromia, Guji, Ethiopia. It is a purchasing and processing station, where local coffee farmers harvest ripe cherries and deliver them daily. It serves around 600 smallholder farmers in the area. Upon delivery, cherries are weighed, organized, and sorted accordingly. Contributing producers are paid a market price that includes a premium for high-quality selection.
Sewda Wet Mill is owned by Testi Trading PLC, a family-owned company embedded at the origin to supply the specialty coffee industry with high-quality coffee beans. Mr. Faysel together with his family established Testi Trading PLC in 2009. The name ‘Testi’ means joy or Happiness in the Harrari language (it is also the name of Faysel’s middle son). Testi is focusing on quality and long-term relationships, as well as maximizing the potential of Ethiopian Coffee. Their focus is to work with their supply chain of smallholder farms to improve their livelihoods and living conditions.
The present lot followed a washed process. After coffee cherries are delivered to the washing station, they’re carefully sorted and floated to remove any defects, ensuring only the highest quality cherries make it through. The cherries are pulped and fermented for 26-32 hours, then washed and further sorted before being laid out to dry on raised beds.
It takes 10-14 days for the beans to reach their optimal moisture level, and they constantly have to be turned and raked to maintain drying consistency and quality. The beds are also covered every day between 12-3pm to protect the delicate coffee beans from the sun, and again at night as a barrier against humidity.
In the cup, you will find an elevated classic washed Ethiopian profile, expect notes of rose hips, iced tea, and bergamot.

Extremely high altitude farms
3 key notes: [Mixed Berry Muffin, Choc Raisins, Dense]
This short run espresso is covering a logistical mishap - our next espresso was due to be unloaded into the warehouse on the first of may - we found out on the 5th that not only had it not landed in the country, it was delayed by 3 weeks with a transhipment and was still on the water. A mad scrabble to look through the proverbial rolodex of cupping notes alighted us on this community lot from Chacra - super high altitude farms from a somewhat inaccessible and under-appreciated region of Peru, Cumaccha is named after the "Cataratas de Cumaccha" waterfalls, a local beauty spot hidden in the cloud forests - which is the perfect fodder for a brief to Lucas!
We’re tasting:
Mega sweet & chocolate forward - we're getting yorkie esq biscuit & raisin with sweet milk chocolate. There's a mixture of fruit compote and cakey notes behind that remind us of mixed berry muffins with a crumble top, alongside dried mango and strawberry. There's a slight catimor note present that is expressing as walnut & brazil nut, and the processing is evident in the finish as just a hint of aperol style booziness, with a super dense body

A cup of coffee consists around 98% water. So the quality of that water has a huge impact on flavor. Water which is too hard can make coffee taste bitter or dry, while water without minerals can lead to flat, dull flavors. The right mineral balance helps extract aromas properly, making your coffee taste clear, vibrant, and well-balanced.
If you want to get the most out of your coffee, start with the water.
ZeroWater filtration
Brewing with the right water for your specific coffee is always tricky, specifically at home or on the go. The ZeroWater filtration systems are very advanced and will turn even the hardest tap water into clear water without dissolved solids.
ZeroWater’s 5-stage filter goes beyond the usual. Where standard filters are designed to improve flavour, this filter removes up to 99.6% of dissolved solids, including heavy metals and other unwanted stuff you’d rather not think about. The result? Clear, clean water that lets your coffee shine. Each filter uses ion exchange technology to strip the water back to its essence; nothing added, nothing lingering. Just refreshing clarity in every cup.
For best results, swap your filter when your TDS meter reads 006 ppm or more. Easy to check, easy to change. For most European households, this will be around 100-150 liters of water, or a maximum of 3 months.
Make sure to add your preferred minerals after filtering your water for the best results when brewing coffee (or tea). For example, use the light roast profile minerals by Third Wave Water for a quick and easy way to create your perfect coffee brewing water after filtering.
Be aware: every filter is tested at ZeroWater before dispatch, so the filter can be a little damp when unpacking.
Negusse Debela established the Danche processing station in 2019, and impressively, within just a few years, he transitioned from a computer company to a coffee business, quickly rising to become one of Ethiopia's leading exporters of premium specialty products. The company operates three coffee washing and processing stations in Gedeo, Kochere, and Chelelektu, with no partner washing stations in Uraga (Guji) and Nensebo (WestAr-si).
Located on a hillside at a high altitude, the Danche processing station sources coffee from approximately 650 smallholder farmers in the surrounding three regions of Kubi, Sisota, and Sike—less than half the amount sourced by its sister washing station, Chellbessa. The region is also known for its dense semi-forest vegetation, providing ideal conditions for shade-grown coffee, contributing to its unique and excellent flavor. Product quality is continuously improved through perfect washing and natural processing, as well as the creation of special experimental batches. Ethiopian Landrace, as a local variety, is a plant population that has naturally developed and adapted to specific local environments over a long period, typically without human intervention. This is the result of natural selection and the accumulation of genetic diversity within a specific geographical area, making it highly suitable for local conditions.
This batch of 2026 new season washed Ethiopian cherries uses hand-picked and sorted red cherries. After peeling, they are soaked in fermentation tanks for 72 hours, then washed in washing tanks and soaked in soaking tanks for 4 hours. Afterward, they are laid out on raised beds and slowly air-dried for 10 days.
During cupping, this washed Ethiopian cherries exhibit white floral aromas, full-bodied peach flavors, and bergamot notes.
