About Beans:

This lot comes from Testi’s newest washing station for the 2025/2026 season, located in the Guji Hambela region of Ethiopia. Named after Testi’s founder, Faysel Abdosh, it represents the culmination of sixteen years of Testi’s best practices in the specialty coffee industry.

Nestled in the mountainous Guji Hambela area, the Faysel Abdosh washing station sources its cherries from smallholder farmers at altitudes between 2350m and 2400m. The whole cherries are first placed in sealed fermentation tanks with control valves for 24 hours of anaerobic immersion until the pH reaches 4.3. After depulping, the beans undergo another 24 hours of cold-water fermentation until the pH drops to 4.0.

This double fermentation process delivers rich floral and fruity aromas while preserving a bright, uplifting acidity — reminiscent of sweet-and-tangy tangerine candy, freshly picked peaches, and a refreshing lemon bergamot note.
