Ethiopia Dumerso

Highlights

“A bright, aromatic cup bursting with lively fruit flavours. Juicy peach leads, lifted by the tart snap of tangerine, finishing with a smooth caramel sweetness. The Dumerso washing station, near Yirgacheffe, is run by sisters Hirut and Mahder Burhanu and plays a vital role in a community where over 90% of income comes from coffee. The coffee is first floated to clean it and remove lower-density beans, then pulped and fermented for 36–48 hours. It's dried on raised beds for 10–15 days, with constant raking for even drying, and covered at night and during peak sun hours (12–3pm) to protect it from rain and heat.”
