003 Ethiopia Sky Project Tomodachi

Highlights

“003 is the Tomodachi — 'friend' — of Philocoffea's World Champion Series: a lot built with Ethiopian producer Tamiru Tadesse of Alo Coffee in Bensa, Sidama, and Taiwan's Tri-Up Coffee, processed to Tetsu Kasuya's own Double Anaerobic Honey recipe. Ripe cherries ferment four days in sealed tanks, are pulped and sealed again for two more, then dry as honey for five weeks under UV shade. The Alo land sits above 2,400 metres, so cherries ripen a month later than the surrounding lowlands.”
