The Story:

From the southern highlands of Ethiopia comes a coffee that is as bold and playful as its name: Gedeb Worka Funky. Grown in the Gedeb district of Yirgacheffe, an area famous worldwide for producing some of Ethiopia’s most celebrated coffees, this lot carries the spirit of innovation and tradition in every sip.

The cherries are brought to the Worka Sakaro washing station, where farmers experiment with a special fermentation technique inspired by winemaking. Here, the coffee is carefully fermented in an environment filled with carbon dioxide. This gentle, controlled process allows the beans to absorb vibrant and unexpected flavors, creating a cup that feels almost magical.

The result? A lively and surprising profile where bubble gum sweetness meets the rich depth of dates and the touch of cacao nibs. It’s a coffee that dances between fun and sophistication, showcasing Ethiopia’s unmatched creativity in coffee processing.
