Why some details are blank

harvestThe exact 49th Parallel listing does not state a harvest or crop year.
altitude mThe roaster publishes a 1,850–2,100 m range, not a defensible single point elevation.
roast dateThe public listing provides a roast cadence but not a bag-specific roast date.

From the producer

Smallholder farmers in the remote mountains of Guji cultivate Ethiopian landrace varieties on small plots of land. They utilize traditional intercropping methods to maintain the health of the coffee plants and the surrounding ecosystem.

From the roaster

Jigesa is a high elevation washed coffee from the remote mountains of Guji, Oromia, Ethiopia.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A clearly documented high-elevation Guji release: 49th Parallel identifies the exact smallholder community, Ethiopian landrace material, 36–48-hour cement-tank fermentation, protected drying, and a light washed filter profile.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

Washed processing

Ripe cherry is delivered to Jigesa, the coffee is washed and fermentation takes place for 36–48 hours in cement tanks.

Protected drying

Parchment is dried for 5–7 days beneath parabolic plastic covers for gradual moisture reduction.

What was added?

No added fruit, flavoring or inoculant is disclosed.

What wasn't added?

The source describes a conventional washed process rather than a co-fermentation or flavored treatment.

Why it matters

The documented tank-fermentation window and protected drying help define the exact lot without overstating undocumented inputs.

What you might taste

49th Parallel lists honey, jasmine and peach in the tasting header, and jasmine, lemon and white honey in the long-form description.
