Two washed coffees, one very clean cup.
Ethiopia 50% - Chelchele Heirloom Washed Grade 1
Bolivia 50% - APCERL | Caturra, Catuai & Catimor Washed (Organic)
Driftwood is the first blend we have built entirely from washed coffees, and you can taste the decision. Where Somersby and Frederiks lean on a natural Brazil for weight and chocolate, this one takes its body from a high-grown Bolivian and its lift from Yirgacheffe. There is no fermented fruit sitting on top and no roast used to cover anything up. What you get is what the two lots actually are.
The Ethiopian half is Chelchele, a Grade 1 Special Prep lot from Kochere in the Gedeo zone, picked to a 90% ripe-cherry standard and dried on raised beds. It brings jammy apricot, mellow caramel and a soft floral edge. The Bolivian half comes from APCERL, a certified organic co-operative in the Larecaja province of La Paz, shade-grown under agroforestry on the edge of Madidi National Park. It brings dried apple, dark chocolate and a biscuity sweetness that gives the blend its base.
Together they land somewhere between orchard fruit and baked sweetness. Medium roast, no oil on the bean, and a finish that stays clean rather than lingering. It pulls well as espresso and holds its shape through milk, though the fruit is easiest to find in a long black.
Best for: Espresso, long black, milk drinks
Style: Clean, sweet, orchard-fruited
