Ethiopia - Yirgacheffe Resetti Washed

Coffees from Yirgacheffe are celebrated worldwide for their quality and complexity, and this lot from Resetti Washing Station is no exeption.

While fruit-forward natural-processed offerings from the region often get the bulk of attention, Yirgacheffe's washed coffees are regarded as some of the cleanest and most refined in the world.

Aromas of citrus and stone fruit rise from the cup, leading to sweet notes of baked apple, bittersweet cacao nib, and vanilla. A silky body adds to the experience, leaving a delicious lingering finish of milk chocolate on the palate.

Processsing

The washed process used for Yirgacheffe Resetti begins with careful cherry selection, ensuring only the ripest fruit is processed.

After pulping to remove the outer skin, the coffee undergoes fermentation in water to break down the remaining mucilage, a step that enhances clarity and highlights the coffee’s natural flavors.

The beans are then thoroughly washed and dried on raised beds, where they are turned regularly to ensure even drying.

This meticulous process results in a clean, vibrant cup that showcases the bright citrus notes and smooth milk chocolate undertones characteristic of Yirgacheffe coffees.
