IN THE CUP: PEACH, GREEN TEA & BLOOD ORANGE
Origin: Gedeb, Ethiopia | Producer: Worka Wuri Washing Station | Variety: Heirloom | Process: Washed | Altitude: 1900 MASL | Harvest: 2025
Worka Wuri is a classic washed Ethiopian. Sweet, tea like, peachy, delicate and floral. There’s always something quietly magical about washed coffees from Ethiopia. For many people, a washed Ethiopian is their gateway into speciality coffee. Even now, the profile remains unmistakable.
I love thinking about the history here too. Coffee was first discovered in Ethiopia some 800 to 900 years ago, and much of the country’s production still comes from wild or semi wild trees. It makes you wonder whether what we’re tasting today bears any resemblance to what Kaldi the goat herder stumbled upon all those centuries ago.
Built in 2012, Wuri is located in the Gedeb region of Ethiopia, just south of Yirgacheffe. It emerged during a time when southern Ethiopian growers and entrepreneurs were beginning to move beyond the traditional cooperative model, seeking greater control over quality and traceability. Wuri represents the focused, quality driven direction Ethiopian coffee has become known for.
In the cup, we find juicy peach melba, a fragrant green tea character and a delicate floral sweetness carrying through the finish.
*Our coffee is freshly roasted each week and orders are dispatched on Tuesday and Thursday for orders received by 12pm the day before.
