Tasting Notes - Mandarin and Oolong Tea
This coffee was produced by the Yukro community in the emerging Jimma growing region and processed at Telila Washing Station. Grown under the shade of local forests at high altitudes with consistently cool temperatures, the beans develop exceptional sweetness. Previously, the region's coffee was processed individually, resulting in inconsistent quality and low market prices. However, the establishment of stations like Telila has allowed communities to significantly improve coffee quality and tap into the higher-paying specialty market. Owned and operated by Mike Mamo, Telila focuses on innovation and attention to detail, highlighting the unique characteristics of coffee by area, or kebele, rather than processing method. This transparency allows us access to incredible lots such as this, a reflection of the community that grew it. The handpicked cherries are pulped, fermented, washed, and then carefully dried over 10 days on raised bamboo beds. The result is a filter coffee with a delicate citrus acidity, delightful sweetness and buttery oolong notes.
