Scenery Coffee – Banchiyayehu Geremew

High in the mountains of southern Ethiopia, Guji has earned a reputation for producing some of the country’s most elegant and aromatic coffees. At elevations above 2,000 metres, cool temperatures slow cherry maturation, helping develop the delicate florals, vibrant citrus acidity and remarkable sweetness that make washed Guji coffees so distinctive.

Grown at 2,050 metres in Banko Michicha, this exceptional lot comes from Banchiyayehu Geremew, a female producer who operates her own washing station, processing cherries from her farm and neighbouring growers. Traditionally washed and carefully dried on raised beds, the coffee showcases the clarity and complexity of Ethiopia’s celebrated heirloom varieties and JARC cultivars.

Expect fragrant jasmine, navel orange and lemongrass, followed by juicy peach, guava and a lively lemon-lime soda finish. Bright, floral and beautifully refreshing, this is a wonderfully expressive example of washed Ethiopian coffee.
