Tell me more about this coffee
A jewel of Western Ethiopia coffee, Telila is nestled in the Jimma region, one of Ethiopia’s coffee powerhouses, just north of the renowned Yirgacheffe.
Telila washing station has quickly turned heads in the speciality coffee world. Since Mike, a seasoned coffee exporter, bought the station in 2019, it has been transformed into a centre of quality and innovation, earning respect and reputation in just 5 years.
This year's harvest speaks for itself, with exceptional attention to detail during the drying process, the result is a cup profile that is clean and clear.
The coffee lots are carefully separated by kebele when they arrive, an unusual and impressive technique that sets the washing station apart from others in the Ethiopian coffee industry. While most washing stations build lots based on process and location, Telila goes one step further and separates lots based on the day the cherries are delivered. This attention to detail allows them to fine-tune each lot, ensuring exceptional quality in every cup.
But they don’t stop there, all the coffee is stored in hermetically (totally air-tight) sealed bags, a practice that is groundbreaking in Ethiopia! This method preserves the coffee, keeping it fresh and highlighting Telila as a leader in coffee quality and innovation.
The coffee they are producing is of exceptional quality, including this honey-processed espresso.
