New!! Ethiopia Agaro Duromina #4

$ 19.99

Washed Ethiopian coffees are making a splash these days as they present slightly more subtle fruit and florals notes with a much cleaner cup.  This outstanding coffee presents notes of kiwi, melon, Meyer lemon and black tea. 

12 oz and 1 lb bags will both be packed in our 12 oz retail bags, so they can be heat-sealed and Nitrogen-flushed to preserve freshness and create the best drinking experience possible. 

Duromina is sourced from 400 smallholder farmers in Ethiopia’s Agaro region in Oromia in the Jimma zone.  They’re not early-harvest, they’re from Western Ethiopia, which has an earlier growing season. In the weeks following arrival, all coffees bloom over a period of weeks or months, but Agaros are special, continuing to open up for 6+ months after arrival and peaking in flavor for a magically long period post-arrival. We find it even more special that these coffees, which come in first, also hold up the longest.

Processing is beyond meticulous in Agaro. After Penagos processing equipment mechanically removes most of the fruit and mucilage from the seeds, they soak overnight in fiberglass tanks, allowing any remaining sugars to be fully removed from their surface so that the coffees are perfectly clean by the time they hit the drying beds.
