Good Grief Coffee - Ethiopia Acacia Core - 250g

Named for Ethiopia’s national tree, the Acacia Core Coffee comes from smallholder farmers in the Yirgacheffe and Guji regions. The sweet, fruity profile is selected to represent the classic flavors of some of Ethiopia’s best recognized coffee producing regions. This Core coffee reflects the work of whole communities, and the Ethiopia Acacia Washed is produced by the smallholder farmers who characterize the coffee production landscape of Ethiopia.

In these southern regions of Ethiopia farmers pick coffee selectively, harvesting only ripe cherries individually by hand. Pickers rotate among the trees every eight to ten days, choosing only the cherries which are at peak ripeness. Coffee is depulped and washed by hand in cement canals at community washing stations. After fermenting in water to loosen the mucilage, wooden paddles are used to fully wash the coffee. Coffee is then placed on raised beds to dry in the sun.

Guji is a zone in the Oromia Region of southern Ethiopia. Like many of the country’s coffee growing regions, the culture of the Guji Zone varies from district to district and speaks to the diversity of people who cultivate coffee. More small washing stations are being built in Guji to respond to the demand for improvements in processing to fully capture the range of attributes found in Ethiopian coffee. The zone’s principal fresh water source is the Ganale Dorya river, which also acts as the boundary line with the neighboring Bale zone to the east.

Literally translated as “Land of Many Springs,” Yirgacheffe, the birthplace of coffee, has the ideal topography, elevation, and water sources to produce and process exceptional coffees. Coffee farmers in Yirgacheffe are typically multi-generational small-scale landholders, sometimes farming only a few hectares. Most coffees in Yirgacheffe are sold as cherry to centralized washing stations that help further separate flavor profiles.

This light, fruity washed bean is a perfect way to welcome the warmer weather and longer days. Its notes of peach tea and caramel are light on the palette making it easy to drink at any time of day. We love this coffee brewed in any method and know its subtle flavours will be welcome in all of your cups!
