About Beans:
For this year’s Ethiopian selections, we generally leaned toward coffees from the Guji region. However, this washed Masincho from Sidama consistently stood out in every round of blind cupping—truly eye-opening.
The floral aroma is light and airy, delicate yet lingering, accompanied by a pronounced citrus character—reminiscent of jasmine or perhaps lemon blossom. The fruit profile is vibrant and expressive, evoking both the sensation of biting into fresh fruit and the sweetness of fruit candy. The acidity remains lively and well-structured throughout, complemented by the freshness of newly harvested green tea, leading to a long, elegant finish.
Masincho is named after a large tree growing at the center of the Yaye washing station. Testi chose this name to symbolize the deep roots and strong foundation of Yaye. When compared side by side with other coffees from the same station, Masincho has consistently impressed us in every cupping session.

Lot Name: Faysel Abdosh Single Farm
Variety: Ethiopian Heirloom
Altitude: 2,100 m
Harvest Date: December 11, 2025
Process: Washed
Flavor Notes: White florals, citrus, bergamot, peach
About Beans:
Testi’s Single Farm Project began in 2025, and within that year’s Private Collection Auction Series, the Single Farm lot from Guji Shakisso stood out as the centerpiece of the entire lineup.
This lot comes from the latest harvest of the Single Farm, with cherries picked on December 11, 2025. The process begins with flotation to remove low-density cherries, followed by thorough washing with clean water. After depulping, the coffee undergoes 36 hours of wet fermentation, then is transferred to raised drying beds. The beds are intentionally placed in a well-ventilated area with limited direct sunlight, allowing the coffee to dry slowly under black shade nets for 21 days.
This Faysel Abdosh Single Farm coffee is delicate and elegant, with a clean, transparent texture. It evokes the image of a gently swaying poppy—graceful and expressive—featuring airy florals, fresh bergamot, refined citrus notes, and a soft, sweet peach finish.
Current components: Rwanda Jiwama Red Bourbon Washed and Kenya Muinami Estate Ruiru Natural

Producer info and cup notes:
As we have grown as a roastery, we have become more and more interested in the idea of blends and what they can do both logistically and for flavor improvements. There are often coffees we receive that just don't quite live up to our expectations, or don't quite fit our "ultralight" standard roast profile. As a way to ensure the hardwork of producers doesn't go to waste, we've decided to funnel those sorts of coffees into a discounted, bulk quantity blend roasted omni-light to better suit the green. For this first iteration. we chose Rwanda Jirama Red Bourbon Washed and Kenya Muinami Estate Ruiru Natural, and chose to blend them at an exact 50/50. The Rwanda washed component delivers very clean stonefruit, a lovely lemonade acidity, and a silky body. The Kenya Natural is bursting with clean red fruits, oolong tea and cola spices.
Together, we find notes of strawberries, raspberry lemonade, and a lovely specialty dark chocolate bass note that carries this very well as a 1:2 classic espresso or batch brew.
