Ethiopia — 'Fluffy Petals' Lalesa Washing Station Heirloom (Washed)

INTRO

The first washed Ethiopian of the season is always the one DAK look forward to most — and Fluffy Petals is this year's. A lot tasted and chosen themselves at Lalesa Washing Station in Gedeb: purple florals, citrus, baked peach, and a subtle thread of hops. It tastes like the season it arrived in.

THE PROCESS

Cherries are collected and hand-sorted before being pulped using a traditional Agaarde Disc Pulper, which also grades the coffee by density at the point of pulping. The coffee is then fermented submerged in water for an average of 72 hours, before being graded again in channels — lower-density fruit floats and is removed, leaving the denser, higher-quality parchment to be separated as a distinct lot. After a final soak in clean water, the parchment is dried on raised beds for 8–20 days in layers of 2–8 cm, adjusted for climate and drying stage.

THE CUP

Delicate, precise, and deeply floral — everything a great Gedeb washed should be. The kind of coffee that arrives with the spring and makes you glad you waited.

  • Hops
  • Baked Peach

About this origin Ethiopia is widely recognised as coffee’s birthplace and holds extraordinary genetic diversity. Washed coffees often show jasmine, citrus and tea-like clarity, while natural lots can bring ripe berries, tropical fruit and deep aromatic sweetness.

Coffee Process

Washed

In this coffee

  • Hops
  • Baked Peach
  • Citrus
  • Purple Florals

How it works The fruit is removed from the coffee seed. Water and fermentation then help clear away the sticky layer before the seed is dried.

Typical influence Washed coffees are often described as clean and bright, with clear flavours, lively acidity and a crisp finish.

Coffee Variety

About this variety

This is a mixed or locally selected coffee population rather than one precisely identified variety. Expect the lot’s tasting notes to be more useful than a single variety stereotype.

Why this one is different
  • Ethiopia
  • Gedeb
  • 2150 masl
  • Washed

In Ethiopia, local selection, replanting and farm history can shape a mixed population over many generations.

Washed processing can make acidity and variety character easier to read, although fermentation and drying choices still matter.

A little background

Several plant types may be growing and harvested together, often reflecting a farm or region’s planting history.

Classification Mixed population

Technical lineage The individual plants are not fully separated or identified, so a single genetic lineage would be misleading.

Variety is a guide, not a flavour guarantee. Lot notes are more specific.
