Konga [2021]

Hailing from the birthplace of coffee, Konga is about 4 km’s south of the town of Yirgacheffe. Konga is located 1780-1870 masl in the highlands of Ethiopia, where it is estimated more than ten thousand varietals exist. For this naturally processed coffee from the Sede Washing station, cherries are spread out in a thin layer on raised beds and rotated regularly until dried. The natural process can be tricky as you want to avoid fermentation and sourness occurring. However, the payoff is a typically sweet, fruity, big bodied coffee that is highly regarded and sought after. Affectionately known as “Yirgy”, we’ve always had a soft spot for coffee from this region, and this harvest has us super excited all over again. Just in time for summer sipping expect rockmelon, with tropical fruit punch goodness up front, and a sweet almost fairy floss finish to tingle those taste buds. Thanks to our good mates at Café Imports for importing this coffee.
