Ethiopia, Guji

When we first received samples of the Dame Dabaye coffees we couldn’t believe how strikingly unique the profiles were, particularly alongside the types from Guracho WS just five hours west in Kercha, which we’d carried last year. Sibu Coffee operates both Dame Dabaye and Guracho washing stations using nearly identical procedures and protocols, which means that the flavor differences are simply highlighting the differences in terroir of the two coffees. 

 While the washed Guracho profiles tend towards peach, honey, lemon and and rose, the washed Dame Dabaye coffees present distinct grapefruit, passionfruit, and a jammy depth to the citrus character that brings to mind a home-made marmalade.
