PHILOCOFFEA 233 ETHIOPIA Mewa Washed

Regular price HK$280.00

The West Alsimewa Washing Station is located in the highlands of the Oromia region in east-central Ethiopia, where high-quality coffee is produced, at an altitude of more than 1,900 meters. The region's coffee has a unique flavor due to its fertile soil, humid climate, and cool temperatures. Producers are primarily smallholders who grow and harvest coffee by hand using traditional methods. Agricultural land usually ranges from 2 to 9 hectares in size and is mainly run by families. We also practice permaculture in harmony with nature and use almost no pesticides. After the cherries are harvested, they are collected into cleaning stations where they are carefully processed and finished. The coffee this time is a classic washed coffee, which is carefully dried in a cool place for three weeks after washing. The West Arsi region is a well-known production area and has received high praise in the Ethiopian Cup of Excellence in recent years.

Classic wash and beautiful style. Since the ingredients were good, I simply grilled them so as not to disturb them. The baking time was right around 9:30, and while we applied strong heat from the beginning to bring out the fruity impression, we lowered the heat a bit near the first goby and set the develop time I was careful about 1 minute to keep the gorgeous floral scent.

When you pour hot water on it, it emits a soft and elegant fragrance. I feel like daily life has become a bit of a luxury.
After brewing, enjoy the aroma rising from the server.
A gorgeous yet light flavor like jasmine tea. Enjoy fruity notes of honey, orange and apricot. It has a herbal feel when freshly brewed, but I think it's easier to pick up the fruity notes as the weather warms up. The wine is light-bodied but has a smooth, velvety texture that accentuates the delicious finish. This is a taste that will blend into your body as soon as you drink it.

About PHILOCOFFEA

Philocoffea was founded by co-founder Tetsuka Kaji and Masami Kaji. Tetsu Kasutani is the first Asian to win the World Coffee Brewing Championship. Tetsu Megu selects and purchases green coffee beans, creates roasting profiles, and controls quality. He understands the taste of black coffee better than anyone.

Taste is subjective, so there is no right or wrong. However, Philocoffea believes that cleanliness is the key to creating complex flavors, pleasant acidity and a long-lasting sweet finish in specialty coffee. As a result, Philocoffea has a "clean" character throughout, from light roasts to dark roasts, and provides a pleasant and long-lasting aftertaste.

Specialty coffee as defined by Philocoffea must meet four key criteria: location, cultivation, hand-picking and sustainability. This means you can trace your coffee directly back to the farm where the beans were grown. Their extraction process is handled with the utmost care and sustainability. So when Tetsu Kasutani discovers a coffee he believes in, he buys it directly from the farm. Having seen firsthand how they work and live, he values ​​relationships built on trust. After interacting with locals and experiencing their culture first-hand, Tetsu Kasutani was inspired to sell their coffee.

The Philocoffea store is equipped with the best Loring roasters in the world. It is also a roasting station and sacred laboratory for exploring new and unique ways of coffee beans. Tetsu Kasutani creates and manages all roasting configurations himself. When new green coffee beans arrive, Tetsu's expertise iteratively hypothesizes, tests, and develops roasting configurations to create the best possible product.
