INTRO This lot comes from Testi's newest washing station for the 2025/2026 season, named after founder Faysel Abdosh himself — the culmination of sixteen years of Testi's best practices. Rich floral and fruity aromas meet a bright, uplifting acidity, reminiscent of sweet-and-tangy tangerine candy, freshly picked peaches, and a refreshing lemon bergamot note. In the cup: floral, tangerine candy, peach, and lemon.

THE PRODUCER Nestled in the mountainous Guji Hambela area, the Faysel Abdosh washing station sources cherries from smallholder farmers between 2,350 and 2,400 masl in Deri village — Testi's newest site, representing over a decade and a half of accumulated processing expertise.

THE PROCESS Whole cherries are first placed in sealed fermentation tanks with control valves for 24 hours of anaerobic immersion, until pH reaches 4.3. After depulping, the beans undergo another 24 hours of cold-water fermentation until pH drops to 4.0.

This precisely pH-monitored double fermentation — anaerobic immersion followed by cold-water fermentation — is the defining step. It's what delivers the rich floral aromas and bright acidity behind the tangerine candy and peach character that define this cup.

THE CUP Bright and uplifting — rich florals lead, with sweet-and-tangy tangerine candy and freshly picked peach sweetness, finishing on a refreshing lemon bergamot note.
