Wush Wush is a rare coffee variety from southwestern Ethiopia. In Colombia, it grows on Finca El Sinsonte in Tolima, at an altitude of 2,200 meters. There, it ripens slowly and develops a profile that is more reminiscent of good green tea than classic coffee. If you like tea-like coffees, this is your coffee.

Filter coffee. Especially good in a V60, Hario Switch, or Origami: where the floral notes are clearest.
Recipe for V60. Hario Switch or Origami also work very well; floral notes are clearest with percolation. → Recipe for your grinder & method
The washing process completely removes the pulp: what remains is the pure character of the bean. The 48 hours of fermentation are long enough to develop the floral notes but short enough not to overdo them. The result is a clear, tea-like profile that highlights the characteristics of the Wush Wush variety.
Wush Wush is a coffee variety from southwestern Ethiopia, genetically close to wild coffees, with a profile different from most Colombian varieties. On Finca El Sinsonte in Tolima, at an altitude of 2,200 meters, it shows its best side: floral, clear, with a tea-like elegance that is unforgettable. The altitude ensures slow ripening, which concentrates the aroma.
The washed process with 48 hours of fermentation is deliberately chosen: it preserves the natural clarity of the variety without overpowering it. No co-fermented, no additives, just the bean, the process, and the altitude. Freshly roasted in Berlin.
Wush Wush is a rare Arabica variety, originally from southwestern Ethiopia, specifically from the Keffa region. Genetically, it is close to wild Ethiopian landrace coffees, which gives it an exceptionally floral and tea-like aroma profile. In Colombia, it is only grown in a few places because it requires higher altitudes and careful cultivation. In the cup, you can recognize it by its clarity and tea-like elegance, which is rarely found in any other variety.
The tea-like profile results from three factors: the genetics of the Wush Wush variety (floral precursors in the aroma compounds), the altitude of 2,200 meters (slow ripening concentrates the aroma), and the deliberate washed processing with 48 hours of fermentation (removes pulp, preserves floral clarity). Together, this results in a coffee that is less reminiscent of Colombian espressos and more like a good green tea or jasmine tea. If you are looking for jasmine and bergamot in your cup, this is the coffee.
Filter coffee, ideally V60, Hario Switch, or Origami. Percolation extracts the floral notes more clearly than immersion. Medium-fine grind, 1:15 ratio, 92 °C temperature, brewing time about 2:45 minutes. French Press and Aeropress also work, but give more body at the expense of clarity. Espresso is not recommended: the profile is too delicate for high-pressure extraction.
The score is a rating by the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA): sensory experts evaluate the coffee in several categories (aroma, acidity, body, sweetness, balance, aftertaste, etc.) and award points. Anything above 80 officially counts as Specialty Coffee. Scores between 85 and 89 represent excellent coffees with distinct characteristics. The Wush Wush with 87 points falls into this category: it clearly stands out from commercial mass-produced coffee and exhibits its own distinct personality.
If you like the floral, tea-like profile, you will also love Azahar (co-fermented with coffee blossom: jasmine, honey sweetness). If you're looking for fruit in your filter, Honey Castillo is a good option (as a filter: clear mandarin). For even more complexity: Apricot OD (co-fermented with apricot, fruity-sweet) or Tropical Lulo (co-fermented with Lulo fruit, exotic-citrusy). All four work well as filter coffee and complement each other for variety.
