The Story Behind the Cup
From Ethiopia’s celebrated Sidama region, this Grade 1 Natural Special Prep lot comes from the Yaye Washing Station and forms part of the Odakko Project. Created through four years of study and planning between Testi Coffees and Cafe Imports, the project set out to produce a traceable, single-variety coffee using carefully selected cherries from peak harvest. This lot was produced by 50 smallholder farmers from the neighbouring villages of Yaye and Chericho.
The coffee is made from Variety 74158 and grown at elevations reaching up to 2300 MASL, where slow ripening helps develop depth, sweetness and complexity. In the cup, it offers cooked berry and mild caramel flavours, supported by winey acidity and fruit-like sweetness, with processing designed to preserve clarity while building a layered natural profile.
