Roasters Reserve - Wush Wush - Finca Anaya

Sale price£28.00

Lemon | Caramel | Cane Sugar | Nutty

"In Abyssinia and Ethiopia, where the coffee-plant is found both wild and in a cultivated state, coffee seems to have been used as a beverage from time immemorial."

Francis B. Thurber, Coffee: From Plantation to Cup, 1881

Wush Wush is an Ethiopian landrace from the forests around Bonga, carried to Colombia by way of a 1960s seed expedition and now grown by only a handful of farms. This washed lot comes from Sergio Aranda Gómez at Finca Anaya, in Acevedo, Huila.

What to expect: yuzu and caramel as soon as you open the bag, then something close to lemon meringue pie in the cup, with a bright, juicy citrus acidity over caramel, cane sugar and a nutty, biscuity sweetness.

Why we love it: it is a rare variety that actually tastes rare, and the washed process keeps the attention on the coffee rather than the ferment. We bought a single 70kg bag, and when it has gone it has gone.

HOW WE MAKE IT

Cherry for this lot is grown at Finca Anaya, the Aranda Gómez family's farm in Acevedo, Huila, at 1,600 to 1,900 metres, with bamboo and fruit trees growing among the coffee.

The lot is fully washed: the cherry is pulped, the beans are left to ferment until the sticky fruit layer loosens, and they are then washed clean and dried. With no fruit left on the bean while it dries, the cup comes out cleaner and brighter, which is why the citrus shows so clearly.

It reached us through Café de la Torre, a small Colombian exporter that helps producers sell their lots directly to roasters abroad, with the producer setting the price.
