Ethiopia Gelena Abaya Gesha Washed

• Contains one bag (150 g) of Ethiopia Gelena Abaya Gesha Washed, Arabica whole coffee bean.

• The Uraga washing station is located in Guji, a coffee-growing area that was formerly a part of Yirgacheffe but was given its own coffee-growing district because of its distinctive microclimate.
Farmers in the area provide cherries to the Uraga washing station. The farming practices in the area remain traditional. Coffee plants are usually interplanted with other food crops by Guji farmers. Because it maximises land utilisation and supplies food for their families, smallholders frequently employ this strategy. This is a washed Gesha variety; do expect a floral and fruity experience, with tea-like transparency.

• Preparation Methods: from French press to pour-over to espresso, the grinder you use and the water from your tap can alter the taste of the cup. Overall, this is a very fragrant coffee to brew. It's a Gesha.
