Yirgacheffe SP 010
Around 1,200 growers from the villages around Yirgacheffe — Idido, Aricha, Worka, Chelbesa, Halabariti — deliver cherry to the Idido washing station through the November-to-January season. This lot is the Malebo Project: hand-selected Grade 1 seed, hand-sorted through the whole eighteen-day drying, then rested for four weeks before milling at 11.2% moisture. Special prep means ninety per cent of the cherry is picked perfectly ripe, from a single day's harvest. Floral, with a mild caramel and a winey acidity. Ten cents a pound from it supports a local orphanage the station built.
