PHILOCOFFEA 230 ETHIOPIA Wuri Natural

< Gedeb Worka >
The Gedeo district on the east side of the Irgachev region is divided into six districts, one of which is the Gedov district. It is 434 kilometers away from the capital Addis Ababa. Until a few years ago, this was a remote area that required nearly 8 hours of driving. However, with the opening of a new highway in 2016, the travel time has been shortened to about 3 hours. This is a region of Ethiopia with an environment suitable for coffee production, with a quarter of the land being grown in coffee. Gedebu district is divided into 16 administrative districts, and Vacasakaro is one of them. The sloping land in this area has good drainage and abundant greenery, making it suitable for natural cultivation. Especially there are many Horus banana trees around the coffee trees. Their leaves fall off, decompose and ferment, and become compost, adding nitrogen and making the soil more fluffy.
The name of the washing plant "Woka" means "gold" in the local Gideo language. When the men of Haile Selassie, the last emperor of Ethiopia, visited this area, they were deeply impressed by the wealth of the people here. impression. The Worka Sakaro wash plant, owned by BNT subsidiary Ranger since the 2019 harvest, aims to produce the best Yirgachev ever. We employ talented employees at commensurate wages and carry out the refining and drying process carefully. This naturally processed coffee is slow-dried for 20 days, and they seem to be working hard to use African beds to completely remove defective beans and educate them on how to slow-dry them. These efforts impacted cup cleanliness and led to further improvements in quality.

<BNT>
The word BNT immediately comes to mind. This is a local Ethiopian exporter. They sell high quality coffee from Yirgacheffe and I imagine they are an exporter whose name you often hear in Japanese coffee shops.
Two presidents, Mr. Billy and Mr. Teddy. Teddy first accumulated experience in the coffee business in another company, and then invited his college classmate Bille (who was working in international development at the time) to found BNT. Since then, their motto has been [PAY FAIR GET FINNEST].
When the company was first established, the quality was not very good and financing was difficult. However, both love visiting customers and drinking coffee, so they always listen to their customers and constantly improve to create better coffee. At present, we have signed exclusive contracts to purchase coffee with 45 washing plants in Yegachev, Sidamo, Guji and other places, and have many subsidiary washing plants. High quality and unique coffee is produced through an advance payment to the farmers in a clean factory (pre-harvest), harvesting of ripe fruit, proper cleaning process, slow drying and high-precision sorting in our own threshing and refining factory. At the refinery, we have added a color sorter to further reduce the contamination rate of defective beans and are currently expanding the factory to increase space and production efficiency. Absorbing opinions and making continuous changes can improve quality.

The weather is getting cooler, don’t you want to drink a cup of light and sweet dark roasted coffee? The village of Uri is said to be located at the highest altitude in Gedeb Walka Sakalo, so you can expect sweet aromas and complex acidity. This time, we created a bright, dark roast that retains its sweetness and acidity while also allowing you to enjoy the bitter flavors. From the very beginning, and even after the first bite, we carefully adjust the temperature to ensure a pleasant taste.

If you wait two weeks from the bake date without opening the package, you can fully enjoy the sweet, bright flavor. When you first put it in your mouth, it tastes bitter like dark roasted chocolate. Later, the sweetness of grape and yellow peach gradually spreads, and the finish is also moist and sweet. Additionally, the smooth, syrupy liquid acts as a balancer, enveloping sweet, sour, and bitter flavors. As the temperature drops, the fruity aroma becomes more pronounced, so you can't miss the change in temperature.
This is a dark roast coffee that you want to drink slowly in a slightly thicker-rimmed cup. A bright and sweet dark roasted Ethiopian drink full of Philocoffea character.
