Single Origin Espresso Coffee

A vibrant and expressive single origin espresso coffee from the heart of Ethiopia’s legendary Gedeo Zone. Grown in the Konga Wete village of Yirgacheffe, this lot represents the combined craft of more than 1,890 smallholder farmers, each cultivating coffee in their own backyard gardens. Collected at the respected Amederaro Konga Washing Station, this release showcases the prized JARC varieties 74110, 74112 and 74165, celebrated for their exceptional cup quality and resilience.

Flavour Profile: Lemon Sorbet, Juicy Citrus & Caramel

Roasted to a clean and balanced Medium espresso profile, this coffee is a masterclass in clarity and sweetness:

• Palate: Bright Lemon Sorbet and Juicy Citrus
• Sweetness: Smooth, rich Caramel
• Texture: Creamy, silky mouthfeel
• Character: A clean, complex and beautifully layered espresso

Stunning as a vibrant black espresso and equally elegant in milk, where it transforms into a citrus‑cream experience.

Processing: Award‑Winning Washed Precision

The Amederaro Konga washing station is recognised by the African Fine Coffees Association’s Taste of Harvest Award, a testament to its meticulous approach to washed processing.

• 72‑hour water fermentation to develop signature Yirgacheffe acidity
• 12 hours of tank drying for structure and clarity
• 8–10 days on African drying beds for even, controlled drying
• Community investment: The station supports local schools and provides educational materials for children

This precision results in a pristine, high‑definition espresso with exceptional balance.
