Bookkisa

Another year, another another excellent lot from Sookoo Coffee. Established in 2018, Sookoo is a family-owned company based in the South of Oromia Mountains of Ethiopia that produces and exports high-quality coffee from surrounding kebeles (villages).

This particular lot is a mix of two varietals - Gibirinna 74110 and Serto 74112 from the Bookkisa kebele. Once ripe and picked, the cherries were sorted and then immediately spread out thinly on raised African beds for 15-20 days until the desired moisture content was achieved.

The result is a clean, complex flavour profile with prominent aromatics and low acidity. Surprising characteristics for a naturally-processed coffee. We've tasted plenty of stone fruits, with heady floral aromas. Delicious.

We invite people we work with to taste coffees before they're released, to help define the tasting notes that inform the brush stroke illustration for the coffee. For this coffee, we invited one of our own roasting team - Tom Halloran.
