Weessi Tima - Ethiopia

This coffee got one part of its name from the washing station where it is produced. The washing station Weessi, is located deep in Guji in the Oromia region of Ethiopia and is part of Sookoo Coffee. The coffee comes from 35 different farmers from the small village of Tima, hence the name: Weessi Tima.

The coffee is grown at an altitude of 2300 meters above sea level, which provides optimal conditions for producing coffee of very high quality.

Processing

The Weessi Tima coffee is a washed coffee, which means that the entire coffee berry is removed except for the bean before drying. After the coffee berries have undergone a 12-hour fermentation, the beans are laid out to dry on traditional raised "African beds". Here, the beans are rotated every hour to ensure quality while they dry in the Ethiopian sun for 14 to 18 days.

This long drying process helps maintain a durable flavor profile that creates a clean profile with citrus notes. In addition, drying ensures that the coffee retains its good taste over time.

This coffee can easily be drunk as espresso, but it shines especially as filter coffee, as here you really get the opportunity to taste the nuances and flavor notes of the coffee.
