What ICKPA. says about this coffee
Sparkling, champagne-like sweetness with notes of tropical punch, lychee, melon, and pineapple.
This exceptional lot comes from the Yirgacheffe district, nestled in the heart of Ethiopia's Gedeo Zone in the southwest of the country.
Renowned for producing some of the world's most distinctive coffees, the region benefits from a unique combination of tropical climate, fertile volcanic soils, and elevations exceeding 2,000 metres above sea level.
At these altitudes, coffee cherries mature more slowly, allowing them to develop greater complexity and depth. The high elevation also places this coffee within the Strictly High Grown (SHG) / Strictly Hard Bean (SHB) classification.
For this lot, carbonic maceration brings an additional dimension to the coffee, enhancing its vibrant fruit character while preserving the distinctive terroir of Gedeb.
Process
Borrowed from the world of winemaking, carbonic maceration is a fermentation technique famously associated with Beaujolais Nouveau, where whole grapes are fermented in sealed, carbon dioxide-rich environments to produce fresh, expressive, fruit-forward wines.
Applied to coffee, the principle is remarkably similar.

What the roaster says about where it came from
We report what the roaster publishes and we have not checked any of it independently. A fact nobody publishes is not a fault of the coffee: almost no roaster in the UK states an importer or the price paid to the producer.
How it sits among coffee from Ethiopia
ICKPA. describe this coffee as fruity, winey. The filled shape is how often roasters use each family across coffee from Ethiopia; the rings on the rim are this coffee’s own.
winey is unusual here — 6% of coffee from Ethiopia are described that way.
