Ethiopia Shenta Wene Testi Ayla Double Fermented Washed Organic

Testi Ayla processes equal volumes of both fully washed and natural coffees. This lot, was fermented in two distinct steps. The first of which, known as “carbonic masceration”, is a unique whole-cherry curing process involving 24 hours in a sealed tank deprived of oxygen, which concentrates the sugars and develops the acids within each individual coffee cherry, essentially custom-curing each coffee seed in an enclosed bath of fruit jam. Once cured, the softened fruit flesh is depulped and fermented extensively as a washed coffee for another full 48 hours. After the second fermentation is complete, the parchment is washed clean and dried carefully on shaded raised beds for a full three weeks. Testi Ayla has perfected a truly exemplary Sidama coffee with articulate tropical fruit sweetness and a seductive, floral-savory bouquet. Welcome to a beautiful light and crisp experience of honey, sweet tea, with underlying notes and tones of butterscotch, lemon, lime and peach. Sited by: Charlie Habegger
