Ethiopia Shakisso Estate Coffee | Horton’s Artisan Coffee Australia
Description
Award-winning Shakisso Estate
Shakisso Estate produces one of Ethiopia’s most distinctive coffees, grown in a natural forest environment beneath a canopy of shade trees rather than in traditional plantation rows. This wild, semi-foraged approach gives the beans a unique character and depth.
The coffee is an heirloom varietal, showing influences of both Typica and Geisha, with bean dimensions that highlight its individuality. It is is known for its distinct flavour characteristics, often described as having notes of guava, tropical fruits, and a juicy, creamy texture.
Processed naturally (dry method), it can be chaff-heavy during roasting, but with lighter roasts and adequate rest time, the result is a cup bursting with tropical fruit complexity. Despite rising prices, it remains outstanding value for one of the world’s most remarkable coffees.
