Ethiopia Worka Sakaro Natural - 12 oz.

Tasting notes: Blueberry jam, kiwi, butterscotch.

In the Cup 

We are absolutely loving this beautiful natural process coffee from Yirgacheffe. Think blueberry jam meets kiwi brightness, with a smooth butterscotch sweetness tying it all together. This coffee is fruity and complex, with a lively acidity that keeps things sparkling and interesting but never overwhelming. Delicious as an iced coffee, or as a fruit-forward, single-origin espresso.

Origin

This lot comes from the Worka Sakaro washing station in Gedeb, Yirgacheffe — one of the most celebrated regions in Ethiopia for expressive, fruit-forward coffees. Sitting at nearly 2,000 meters above sea level, the station has 12 washing tanks and 171 raised beds, and a few hectares of its own plantings in the village of Worka Chelbiesa.

Producer

Worka Sakaro brings together smallholder farmers in Gedeb, most cultivating tiny plots often less than a hectare. They grow heirloom varieties like Dega, Kurume, and Wolisho, passing down farming knowledge through generations. After delivery, ripe cherries are hand-sorted, with the best lots sun-dried on raised beds for about 21 days. Once the ideal moisture level is reached, the coffee is milled and prepared for export. The producers’ care, combined with the station’s meticulous processing, results in a coffee that shows off everything we love about Yirgacheffe — bright, sweet, and full of personality.
