Bishan Wate washing station sits near the Wate River in Hambela Wamena, in Ethiopia's Guji Zone. About 50 smallholder farmers bring cherry to the station for processing.
Washed: cherry is floated to sort out underripes and defects, then depulped and fermented for 48 hours before drying on raised beds for 21 days, positioned for airflow over direct sun, down to 12% moisture.
Cupping notes: Jasmine and sweet floral aromatics lead, with a peachy acidity and soft fruit underneath. Black tea spice notes carry through at light roast.
