For the 7th consecutive year we are releasing this washed lot from Mr Tessema Edima. Our collaboration started when Tessema participated in the Operation Cherry Red auction, an auction/competition where our importer Trabocca searched for the 32 best lots of Ethiopia. Tessema’s coffee was our absolute favourite lot and we bought just a small lot. Now, 7 years later, we offer it (almost) year-round! Year after year we are looking forward to cupping this coffee, 100 % Kurume, harvested in prime coffee land in Yirgacheffe, Ethiopia. Typical of this region is the way in which the plantations are man- aged. The plantation is mostly left alone in its natural semi-wild state. The shade provided by the wild trees in combination with the very fertile soil pro- vide the perfect ecosystem to create a very balanced cup with a lot of fruity, floral notes. There’s no coffee that screams MOK any more than this one.
