Ethiopia "Tagel Alemayehu" Washed Kurume & Dega - Subtext Coffee

International Feature Roaster: Subtext Coffee

Tagel grew up in Bule Hora, the son of a local coffee trader who built the first washing station there and installed the first Pinhalense dry huller in Ethiopia. Starting in 2004, Tagel worked as washing station manager at one of first specialty natural stations in Guji, and founded Olkai in 2018 as the government export regulations opened. Olkai is a family business; his wife works as the export manager. Tagel and Olkai operate a half dozen washing stations in the south dotting many of the most sought-after regions for quality.

Expect bright notes of lemongrass, juicy lychee, and delicate hibiscus. The cup is floral, complex, and sparklingly clean—an uplifting, refined expression of Ethiopia’s highlands.
