Tasting Arsosala, the brilliantly clean profile is a real testament to the elevated process. First, we find fresh apricot, red grape, and delicate jasmine. Tangy acidity complements the bright sweetness, like lemon candy, becoming syrupy as it cools.
The Arsosala washing station was founded in 2015. It now serves around 1,200 smallholder producers in the Uraga district of Guji, beautifully forested area in southern Ethiopia. The region was once considered part of Sidama, but has since become known for the distinct character of its coffee. Smallholders in Guji grow their coffee in small gardens at very high altitudes, benefiting from the rich red soil of the highlands.
With the special preparation, cherries are collected from a limited number of smallholders. These lots are processed and stored separately from the regular Grade 1 coffees and generally only a very small number of bags are produced every season. The coffee is picked and de-pulped the same day. The beans are then fermented for a period of 8–12 hours in tanks and washed in water channels to remove the mucilage. The clean coffee beans will then be spread on raised beds to dry for 5–15 days, depending on the weather.
