Werka Nensebo

Description

This lot is made up of coffees grown near the Kebele village of Werka, located in the Nensebo Woreda District, in the West Arsi Zone. Nearly 850 smallholder family farmers deliver freshly picked coffee to Testi’s Nensebo washing station. Each farmer cultivates an average of 2-5 hectares of certified organic coffee, managing and picking their own crops before transporting them immediately to the washing station. Upon arrival, the coffee cherries undergo a quality check by floating in water to remove floaters. The cherries are then transferred to raised beds to dry, with constant rotation for even drying. Any underripe cherries are meticulously picked out during this process. The drying period typically lasts 15-18 days, depending on the weather. The ideal growing conditions and meticulous attention to detail in organic cultivation, harvesting, and processing come together to produce a uniquely beautiful cup. Expect a vibrant flavor with an abundance of berry notes, like strawberry, complemented by a citrus acidity and a soft, creamy body.
