Why This Coffee Tastes This Way
Worka should earn a separate edge through its own cup direction which combines dried strawberry, dark plum and sweet fruit with a round creamy body and smooth acidity. Based in Gedeb at 1,900–2,200 MASL and natural processing
Recommended Brewing
-
V60: A strong first method for separating dried strawberry and dark plum while keeping the creamy body controlled.
-
Chemex: Useful when you want a cleaner presentation of the sweet-fruit profile.
-
AeroPress / Kalita Wave: Flexible options for retaining more body while preserving fruit definition.
-
Espresso: A secondary route for drinkers who want a fruit-led natural Ethiopian shot; dial in specifically for the lot.
1718 Brewing Tip: Use the same filter recipe you use for Sidamo or Guji once, then compare. A controlled side-by-side is more useful than changing recipe and coffee at the same time.
