Why some details are blank
  • FARM / PRODUCERThe current page’s main copy says washed near-Yirgacheffe coffee, while its farm card says Howolso in Sidama and natural processing; no exact farm or producer is assigned until the roaster resolves the conflict.
  • VARIETYThe exact current release does not disclose a cultivar.
  • ALTITUDEThe only altitude appears on a conflicting Sidama natural-process farm card and is not assigned to this washed near-Yirgacheffe release.
  • FERMENTATIONWashed processing is stated, but no fermentation protocol is published.
  • DRYING METHODNo drying method is published for the exact current release.
  • HARVESTNo harvest period or crop year is published.
  • BREW RECIPEThe page names Chemex and drip machine but provides no exact lot-specific recipe.

From the roaster

A very clean washed coffee from just outside the town of Yirgacheffe, roasted light to highlight its rich, floral, red-wine profile.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

This current organic, Fair Trade light roast pairs a washed Ethiopia profile with unusually broad roaster tasting language, while its farm-level traceability remains undisclosed.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Washed processing

The main current product description identifies this release as washed.

What was added?

Water is inherent in the disclosed washed process; no other processing input is documented for the current release.

What wasn't added?

Fruit, spices, flavorings, commercial yeast, or other inoculated cultures are not documented. Their absence is not inferred beyond the published process description.

Why it matters

The profile preserves the main current product identity while flagging a contradictory farm card instead of forcing an unsupported farm or process connection.

What you might taste

Red wine, currant, floral, lemon, cherry, baked apple, chocolate, black tea, and honeydew melon.

The sources
  • Coffee publication
    Epicurious
    Epicurious reviewed Larry's named Ethiopian light roast favorably in 2019, praising its fruity, bright character, fuller body, restrained acidity, and versatility. The article names a historical Sidama Fero sourcing, so it is retained as historical context rather than proof of the current near-Yirgacheffe release.
