Why does Shakisso taste the way it does?
Ethiopian coffees always stand out from the crowd. The coffees are often floral, fruity, sometimes tea-like or very berry-like. The coffees are washed and dry processed at the Shakisso station - this coffee was pulped and fermented under water, then washed. This is how it retains its delicate, slightly stone-fruity notes. It was then decaffeinated with water by Swiss Water in Vancouver, which gives it a gingerbread-like character.
