Since 2009, our importing partners have worked to develop longstanding relationships with cooperatives in the Agaro region of Ethiopia. This region, home to well-known washing stations like Nano Challa and Duromina, has become famous in the specialty coffee world. Each year, we source several lots from Agaro. We are excited to present our latest from the Nano Genji washing station. 

At Nano Genji, coffee is processed with meticulous care. Using Penagos processing equipment, the fruit and mucilage is fully removed from the seed. The seeds are then placed in fiberglass tanks to soak overnight, allowing any remaining sugars to be fully removed from their surface, ensuring they are perfectly clean before being placed on raised beds for the 6-8 days they will need to dry.

We're pleased to add another stellar Ethiopia offering to our menu this season. Soaring high elevations, careful processing, and ideal growing conditions contribute to this coffee's fruity and complex profile. Get dialed into sweet, floral honeysuckle, candied orange, and black tea by starting with a 1:16.5 brew ratio, filtered water at 204-206℉, a medium-coarse grind, and a 3-3.5-minute brew cycle.
