Wush-Wush Natural, Field Blend

Read time: under 1 minute.

Wush-Wush Natural is a beautiful fruit-forward expression of its natural process done in Ethiopia. Coffee from Ethiopia is known for its fruity flavors and floral expressions in the brewed cup from its varietals. However, adding the natural process to those varieties will produce extra fruit in the final product. Every part of Ethiopia has its charisma, and the Western region of Keffa is no exception. The people of Keffa carry their pride in coffee close to the bone. The reality is that naturally processed coffees can be challenging to produce well. Picking the coffee cherries at their most ripe stage is one thing, but allowing the coffee seed in the coffee cherry to dry in the amount of time needed is another. We can now understand that regions experiencing rain during harvest may face difficulties. Because coffee seeds and coffee cherries face a fermentation stage, uncontrolled fermentation during their drying stage can lead to funky flavors in the brewed cup. However, tasting a refreshing, juicy, fruit-forward, naturally processed coffee will confirm that the people of Keffa were precise in all they did to produce Wush-Wush Natural. We find cherry cordial, strawberry jam, and honey in the cup.
