Ethiopia Suke
Ripe orange. The kind that has been sitting in the sun. Juicy, almost absurdly so. Then florals. Not perfumed. The cup is clean. Washed Ethiopian clean sweet finish.
If you are new to specialty coffee, start here. If you have been drinking it for years, come back to this one. Other washed Ethiopians are measured against it.
Tesfaye Bekele planted his first hectares of Suke Quto in 2005, beneath existing forest canopy. After a bushfire swept the area, he distributed coffee seedlings and shade-tree seeds to his neighbours. The forest came back. So did the farms.
The mulch is made from the trees themselves. Leaf-litter. Prunings. Pulp from processing. It returns to the soil, which feeds the next harvest. The farm now runs to 221 hectares, with 171 smaller producers delivering their cherries here for processing. Certified organic and Rainforest Alliance, every hectare.
