Keramo is a washing station located high up in the Bombe Mountains of Sidama, at the dizzying height of 2,360 meters above sea level! ~1,500 smallholder farmers deliver their tiny and dense heirloom variety coffee cherries here, where they’re meticulously and beautifully turned into a stunning suite of both washed and dry process coffees.
This one is a washed rendition, and though it has the tall order of joining our menu after a pair of exquisite coffees from Yirgacheffe have already set a HIGH BAR for ETHIOPIA2K23, it’s rising to the occasion with aplomb.
While Gutity Washed was a full-on peach bender and Kurume Natural a hazy blue dream, Keramo’s the sensation of waking up and smelling the flowers: it’s the most floral of the bunch, the floatiest, the sneakiest. Though light as a feather up front, its flavor profile is filled out with bouncy, crunchy, chuggable fruit vibes that remind us Piquette, and the way it swirls all these sensations together is treacherously effective, not unlike the scheming of a criminal mastermind.
