All Fringe, No Frill

All Fringe, No Frill is back! The offerings in this line consist of washed coffees from Africa, showcasing delicate florals, bright citrus and ripe fruits. They are layered, clear coffees with a generally lighter roast.

Our current All Fringe, No Frill comes from Mr Ocholo Bedecho's farm 12 kilometers from the small town of Haro Wachu in the Guji region of Ethiopia. The region's high altitiudes and rich red soils lend themselves to consistently quality cups and a recognized region in specialty coffee. Bedecho's eight hectares of land put him among the largest producers in his area, and his farm is worked in large part by his family. Through his farm, he has been able to send all of his eight children to school, though they help when they can.

This lot was grown at an elevation of 2200-2300 MASL, and consists of Ethiopian Heirloom varietals. In the cup, we taste hibiscus, lemon and redcurrant with a wonderfully light body and vibrant acidity. It is a prime example of a washed Ethiopia and a new roastery favorite.
