Coffee Details

About This Coffee

This is a washed Ethiopian coffee from Bookkisa, a sub-ward in the Guji zone known for some of the most expressive filter coffees in the country. It is minimally processed: after mechanical de-pulping, the coffee soaked for just 12 hours, then dried slowly on raised tables. That short, careful fermentation keeps the cup clean while preserving the ripe, jammy sweetness Guji is loved for.

The coffee comes from Sookoo Coffee, run by local legend Ture Waji, whose station has built a long-standing reputation in the region. After years of celebrated natural-process lots, this washed selection shows another side of the same terroir, trading bold fruit for clarity, florals and a notably perky acidity that stands out among the washed Ethiopians we have tasted this year.

How to Brew Ethiopia Bookkisa Washed

If the cup tastes sharp or thin, grind a touch finer to build sweetness; if it turns bitter or drying, grind a little coarser.

How Much Coffee Is in a Bag?

At around 15g per cup, a 250g bag brews about 16 pour-overs, and the 1kg bag makes roughly 65. That is a few weeks of bright, floral mornings from a single Guji harvest, or one big bag to keep this washed Ethiopian in rotation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this better as filter or espresso?
This is built for filter. As a light-roast washed Ethiopian it shines as pour-over or batch brew, where its grape jelly sweetness, florals and perky acidity come through cleanly. You can pull it as espresso, but expect a bright, fruit-forward shot.

What does Ethiopia Bookkisa Washed taste like?
Ripe grape jelly and light blueberry up front, with a clean, tea-like body. As it cools you will find white peach, grapefruit and lovely florals, finishing bright and juicy.

How fresh is the coffee?
We roast in Kuala Lumpur and ship within one week of your roast date. These beans are at their best 2 to 3 weeks after roasting, so there is plenty of runway to dial them in.

Any tips for getting the best cup?
Start with the recipe above (16g to 250ml, 93°C, around 3 minutes). Keep the water just off the boil to protect the florals, and adjust grind in small steps until the sweetness peaks.
