Las Marias Wush Wush Washed Processing Method In the pursuit of discovering native Ethiopian coffees grown in the highland of Colombian mountains, Jose Giraldo found an exotic variety that came from the Wush Wush region of Ethiopia (thus the name Wush Wush). What makes this variety special is the high level sweetness along with delicate floral notes and yellow fruits that dance perfectly in the cup…. And the cherry on the trees ripen in an orange color with nice stripes that makes it more interesting. This coffee undergoes a meticulous, multi-stage fermentation process designed to enhance clarity, acidity, and floral complexity, mixed out with the genetics. The process includes: Selective Harvesting: Cherries are picked at their ripest stage, ensuring a 20 Brix grade sugar level for optimal sweetness. First Fermentation: Whole cherries are placed in a closed tank for 24 hours , allowing initial fermentation to develop nuanced flavors. Pulping & Second Fermentation: The cherries are pulped without water and transferred to an open tank , where they ferment without water for 24 hours . Drying: Once fermentation is complete, the coffee is set with the few mucilage it still having and carefully dried in raised African beds for approximately 35 days , this few mucilage create the perfect white honey process, during the drying we are ensuring a controlled temperature below 35°C to achieve a 10-11% moisture content .
