Madcap- Tamrat Alemayew - Heirloom - Washed- Ethiopia 8oz

A VIBRANT EMBODIMENT OF COFFEE FROM GEDEB

High up at 1800-2100 meters above sea level, Heirloom coffee cherries mature slowly in the clay loam soils of the Gedeb district of Ethiopia. Once perfectly ripened, cherries are picked and processed by the Tamrat Alemayew washing station, owned and operated by the Moplaco Trading Company. Moplaco is owned by fourth generation coffee professional Heleanna Georgalis, a producer we’ve had the pleasure of contracting coffee from on past Madcap menus. Moplaco was started in 1972 by Heleanna’s father Yiannis, and has since expanded exponentially, with a reputation for upholding the benchmark of expert standards in milling and exportation.   

Coffees from Gedeb are renowned for their florality and complexity, and Tamrat Alemayew’s washed Heirloom coffee is a fantastic representation of the type of quality we get excited to see from this area. Savor notes of bright lime candy, tangerine, and honeysuckle in the final cup.
