This Koke Red Honey lot comes from the Konga Washing Station, located in the Gedeo zone of Yirgacheffe, Ethiopia. The station sits at 2,000 m.a.s.l., where more than 400 smallholder producers contribute from across the kebeles of Koke, Konga, Udessaa, and Birbirsa Kala. This lot is comprised of the mixed heirloom varieties Kudhume and Dega.
The Red Honey process begins with rigorous selection where only cherries scoring >20° Brix on a refractometer are chosen, floated, and sorted. These cherries undergo 24 hours of aerobic fermentation followed by 24 hours of anaerobic fermentation, They are then de-pulped and dried on shaded raised beds for 15 days, depending on the weather.
The meticulous cherry selection and unique processing result in a remarkably fruit forward and winey cup. This is a highly chuggable coffee that works great on all brew methods. We highly recommend adding this one to your repertoire while we have it!
