Reintroducing Ayla, a washed coffee from the legendary Sidama region in Ethiopia. Named after the niece of the station owners, the Ayla washing station sits at an impressive 1,950 meters above sea level. This extreme elevation gives the surrounding coffee its exceptional clarity and sweetness, making this microlot a standout.
Ethiopia, the birthplace of coffee, is home to countless undocumented coffee varieties, locally known and selectively bred over generations. Thanks to the work of the Jimma Agricultural Research Centre (JARC), some of these heirloom landraces have been officially catalogued for their unique flavour profiles and disease resistance. Ayla showcases two of these JARC varieties—74112 and 74110.
The result is a clean and vibrant coffee with an elegant cup profile. Expect delicate notes of lemon, peach, and lime, ideal for filter-style brewing. Its brightness and subtle complexity make it a delightful brew for those who appreciate refined, intricate flavours.
