The particulars Our score: 86 Roast style: Light Size: 300 grams, whole beans Produced by: Multiple contributing producer farmers Produced in: Ethiopia Varietal: Local Landraces, 74110, and 74112 Process: Natural Altitude: 2,225 meters above sea level Sorting level: 20-24% The producer The collection of producer farmers around Teraga, Oromia, grow their coffee on small farms ranging in size from 2.5 to 3 hectares. The coffee is grown in a cold climate at a high altitude. Processing The cherries are delivered to the Raro Nensebo Drying Station in Uraga, Guji. The station is operated by Sookoo Coffee and its founder, Ture Waji, widely known as “The King of Guji". To minimize fermentation, farmers deliver the cherries to the station at night. Once delivered, an extensive sorting process removes over and under ripe cherries. The coffee is then dried on African beds under the full sun. There are strict drying protocols which mandate a maximum layer density of four centimeters and six daily rotations. This process reduces the risk of over-fermentation and defects. The standard drying time for the coffee is between 21-28 days, ensuring optimal flavor development. Sorting Following each roast, the beans are individually inspected by an AI-powered optical sorter. The sorter identifies and removes beans with defects undetectable to the human eye, eliminating anything that would introduce unwanted flavors into your cup. The result is a cleaner, more consistent, and more flavorful coffee. The optical sorting level percentage is the percentage of the total roast discarded in this process. Making your coffee We purposefully select coffees that we think are delicious across all brewing methods. No matter how you make your coffee, we think you'll enjoy this. That said, our personal preference for Let's Chill is as a pourover or a French Press.
