About
A washed landrace lot from Mikiyas Bogale's family milling station, bought from Gerse smallholders and fermented 48 to 72 hours in open concrete tanks before drying on raised beds. A classic Yirgacheffe cup: tea-like and low in acidity, with bergamot, earl grey, vanilla and canned peach over a rich, honeyed body.
