Bishan Wate scored very highly when we bought it - and it is a pleasure to see it still performing so well as the Ethiopian season is on its final leg.

Juicy peach flavors and floral notes of elderflower: This coffee has high aromatics and is super enjoyable. 

The Bishan Wate Washing Station is located in the distinct region of Guji. Around 50 farmers contribute their cherries to the station, produced on the surrounding land at elevations up to 2350m. Named for the Wate river which flows alongside, Bishan Wate is one of twenty washing stations owned and managed by Testi Coffee, a family business founded by Faysel Adham Yonis. For those who remember Bombe and Gigesa, our lots from Testi Coffee have always been something to look forward to.

Guji is a densely forested area in southern Ethiopia. Before the early 2000s, it was considered part of Sidama, but has since been designated its own region. The people of Guji grow coffee gardens at very high altitudes in the rich red soil of the highlands, setting this coffees profile apart from neighboring regions.
