Product Overview
Full Cupping Notes

If you're a fan of floral coffee, you should certainly give Uraga Siko a try. It offers attractive floral grace notes in the light roasts, with bright berry-toned accents, and fragrant sweetness that's honeyed and clean. When grinding the coffee, you pick up on faint florality behind the sweetness in the dry fragrance, a hint of dried floral potpourri works its way through potent notes of raw unrefined sugars and honey. Sweet jasmine notes comes through with a bit more intensity in the wet aroma, adding a perfumed aspect to the sweetness, along with a fragrant spritz of citrus. Siko is tasting as strong as ever, with impressive Guji-like aromatics and deep, grounding sweetness. City roasts brew a floral and bright coffee, with hefty flavors of red honey and raw sugars that provide a nice connecting point for the lively top notes. Berry notes are fresh in flavor, with tart acidity that brought to mind blueberry skins, fading to fragrant lime and some bittering aspects of zested citrus peel. The aromatic profile blossoms as it cools, floral jasmine pearl tea and rose are perfumed, along with pink bubblegum, tangerine, and spiced Darjeeling tea in the long aftertaste. An excellent Uraga coffee that shines as a pour-over brew!

Origin & Farm Notes

This coffee was processed at a washing station in Siko village, Uraga Woreda. This area is home to thousands of small scale farmers who practice traditional intercropping with a mix of other cash crops, like fruits, vegetables, and grains, and of course, coffee. Much of the area is semi-forest, which a primary canopy that provides ample shade for coffee. The altitude in Siko reaches as high as 2320 meters above sea level, and farmers typically grow JARC landrace selections (Jimma Agricultural Research), with numbers like 74110, 74158, and 74112 commonly distributed through seedling programs. The coffee cherries are first put in water tanks before processing in order to separate any "floaters" - generally unripe coffee - from the rest. They then pulp the coffee of its fruit, and ferment the seeds in order to break down the sticky mucilage layer. They then wash away the remaining fruit from the seed using clean water, and lay the coffee to dry on raised beds. The result is a cup with very nice clarity, and an aromatic top end, that we thought showed best when kept to the lighter end of the roast spectrum.
