Refined sweetness, clean acidity, juicy fruit accents, delicate aromatics...the complete package! Notes of honey, rapadura-type sugars, mango, tangerine, and elegant hints of floral hops, and rose petal tea. City to City+.
Full Cupping Notes
At City roast level, the ground coffee displays aromatic sweetness that has potent elements of fragrant raw honey, along with accents of chamomile flower tea, apple, and dried lemon. After pouring hot water, the scent in the steam smells deeply sweet, like pressed sugar cane juice, accented by a floral highlight, and juicy hints. For me, this coffee is the complete package. It has a refined sweetness, clean acidity, juicy fruit accents, and delicate aromatics that come through most in light roasts. What I first picked up on in the cup was the high level of sweetness, complex notes of raw honey, and rapadura types of raw sugars, like panela and piloncillo. But as the coffee cools, I pick up on elegant top notes that bring out complex aromatics, like floral green hops, and rose petal herbal tea. Fruited acidity teases out fruit flavors in the cup, like tropical mango, Bosc pear, and a juicy citrus hint of tangerine. At City+, the brew still offers creamy sweetness and heady aromatics, along with cocoa-dusted fruit notes in the finish.

Origin & Farm Notes
This is only the second time we've offered the Wush Wush variety, both times from Edward Sandoval. Our enthusiasm for this lot is as much based on unique cup flavors as it is rarity. The "Wush Wush" variety originated in the Ethiopian town of "Wushwush" (or "Wishwish" if you're looking at Google maps!), not far from the Bonga forest in Jimma. Known for delicate cup flavors, Wush Wush was propagated by farmers in that region, and eventually made its way to South America in the early '90s. It's known to have lower yields, as well as lower disease resistance than your typical Caturra or Bourbon. This means it is more costly coffee for farmers to produce, which translates to a higher price than your average variety as well. The coffee comes from farmer Edward Sandoval, in Tolima, who's been a source of several different "exotic" varieties the last few years, including Moka, Gesha, and Chiroso. Edward worked for many years as a field technician for the Federación Nacional de Cafeteros ("FNC"). When he broke away from the FNC and set out to start his own farm, Finca Canta Ranas, he decided to plant varieties that were not promoted by his previous employer due to their need for a higher degree of management, but that are capable of producing a higher value cup. Edward's farm is small, just 3 hectares, and stretches up to about 1850 meters above sea level. We'll have a Chiroso variety from Edward later this year.
