Taza Dorada 12th Place: Paula Andrea Guevara
This coffee has a lot going for it: a really velvety mouthfeel opens up to sweet tropical fruit and black tea. The finish on this coffee is incredibly sweet: vanilla and mountain honey.

Sorting Level
8-10%
All our roasted coffees are run through an AI-powered optical sorter. This extra step ensures that you receive only the most nutrient-dense, flavorful coffees from each lot. The machine is also capable of removing any foreign objects (corn, metals, rope, to name a few) from the rest of the coffees.
The higher the percentage, the more coffee is being removed in order to achieve a truly pristine product. We liken this to how sake-makers "polish" during production in order to reach a higher-quality product.
Nothing goes to waste: the rejected coffees are re-roasted and sold to local markets.
Variety / Cultivar
Wush Wush
This low-yielding and rare varietal has origins in southwest Ethiopia. Known for its tea-like and delicate, aromatic flavors, finding a Wush Wush on a coffee menu is a rarity of its own. Try a cup if you get the chance to!
