Alaka
This exciting coffee is produced by Alaka Washing Station, together with small coffee growers based around the the village of Alaka in the woreda of Hambela in Guji, Ethiopia.
Alaka station is owned by Metad group, local company established to grow, produce and export Specialty Coffee. This lot is a community blend of quality coffee cherries from local growers who are living just around the Alaka village and who each cultivate small plots of land for food products, cash crops and coffee production.
For us this coffee stood out with its clean and bright, fruit forward and floral profile. Bright citric acidity and fruity yet delicate and almost tea like, aromatic and sweet coffee. Beautiful representation of Ethiopian coffee.
We found this coffee to be very clean, bright, juicy yet delicate. Tasting fruity sweet with notes of citrus and florals with bright citric acidity and really nice aromatics.
