Adorsi is a washing station located near the village of Aricha, in the heart of Yirgacheffe, Ethiopia. The station is owned and operated by Testi Specialty Coffee and receives cherries from around 800 smallholder farmers in the surrounding area.

This coffee is grown at high elevation and processed using the washed method, which helps bring out the clarity and elegance that Yirgacheffe coffees are known for. After careful sorting, the cherries are pulped, fermented in clean water, washed, and slowly dried on raised beds.

We selected Adorsi for its beautiful expression of a classic Ethiopian washed profile. It is not a loud or overly showy coffee, but it has a clean and delicate fruit character, with notes of orange, nectarine and passionfruit, followed by a refined jasmine tea finish. A bright, elegant and tea-like cup that quietly shows the beauty of Ethiopia.
