What Constance Coffee say
Rachia Washed
Ethiopia
baked rhubarb
bergamot
brown sugar
We love the complex, tropical quality of coffees from Aricha, and have bought coffee from Rachia each year since 2021, but this is the first washed coffee we’ve bought from them. This classic Yirgacheffe profile gives us sensations of mixed berry & stonefruit with layers of complex tea florals and sweetness.
Area: Aricha, Gedeo Zone, Yirgacheffe
Until 2018, the mill at Aricha was out of action, but it was revived by new owners Testi Coffee, we first bought coffee from them in 2021. The mill is about 8 kilometres from the centre of Yirgacheffe Town, smallholders (owning less than one hectare of land) deliver cherry to the mill, and are paid premiums depending on what grades of cherry they deliver to the mill, and lots are tracked to individual growers.
