Flavor Description

Hamasho sits at the extreme altitude of 2,300 m. This washed bean is exceptionally clean and transparent: the entry brings fresh-sweet white peach and lychee flesh sensation, the mid-palate shows clear bergamot and Earl Grey tea notes — a pinnacle of Ethiopian washed coffee.

Brewing Notes

  • Pour-over: Fine grind, water temperature 93–94°C, ratio 1:16
  • Technique: High-altitude beans are very dense; higher temperature and finer grind help unlock their full potential
