Washed Ethiopia is, so to speak, a safe bet, and this coffee from the Czech roaster Mazelab confirms this with the very first sip. Ethiopia BOMBE is based on the delicacy and precision of its flavor. The cup combines fresh citrus zest, delicate honey sweetness, and notes of ripe apricots and blueberries, which gradually develop and blend beautifully. The result is a coffee with a clear structure, pleasant acidity, and a clean aftertaste that does not overwhelm but, on the contrary, entices you to take another sip. It is perfect for anyone who likes complex flavors with a pleasant fruity character.
Behind this exceptional lot isFaysel Abdosh, a renowned producer from the Sidamo region, who foundedTesti Coffee in 2009. His farm in Keram, located at an altitudeof 1,900–2,300 meters above sea level, is one of the most respected in the region thanks to its uncompromising emphasis on quality and innovation. Abdosh is one of the pioneers of improved processing methods that highlight the natural sweetness of coffee cherries. One of his unique steps is to soak the cherries for four hours after removing the floats, which helps to improve the reaction of the sugars and the resulting harmony of flavors in the cup. The coffee grows here in the shade of trees near the Geta River, whose microclimate creates ideal conditions for the 774110 and 74158 varieties.
The coffee is processed using the washed method, which brings out the natural character of the bean and the terroir. After harvesting, the cherries are de-pulped, then fermented in water and thoroughly washed. This removes any remaining pulp and results in a clear, structured, and very clean flavor. It is this process that highlights the citrus freshness, delicate honey sweetness, and fruity elegance that gradually develops in the cup.
