Blind Assessment
Pungent, spicy-tart. Pineapple, cognac, pink peppercorn, toffee, clover blossom in aroma and cup. Citrusy acidity; lightly creamy mouthfeel. A crisp finish consolidates to notes of toffee and pink peppercorn.
Notes
Wush Wush is an Ethiopian coffee variety apparently brought to the Americas by Cenicafe (the Colombian coffee research institute). This version was produced by Victor Fernando Girón of Finca La Foresta, and processed by a proprietary natural method that includes fermentation of the whole fruit with selected native yeasts in a temperature-controlled environment before drying. SÖT Coffee Roaster, based in Osaka, Japan, is a self-described Swedish-style roaster with an “aggressively light” roasting style. For more information, visit www.sotcoffee.com.
Bottom Line
A spice-toned, tart-leaning, richly aromatic expression of the Ethiopian Wush Wush variety as grown in Colombia.
