Ethiopia: Halo Hartume

We tried quite a few coffees from Gedeb this year, but we were absolutely blown away by the floral quality of this washed coffee from the Halo Hartume station. From the second the water hit the bed of coffee, the room filled with the smells of orange blossom and shiso (also known as perilla). The delicate body and intensely sweet floral and pear notes is the result of careful processing by father-son duo Worasa and Daniel Mijane. The coffee is fermented in water baths for 24-48 hours before being dried in the sun on raised beds.
