Ethiopia Bookkisa Shaakkisoo

What to Expect

This is high-altitude Ethiopian coffee doing what it does best: floral, bright, and delicate. Grown between 2,000 and 2,200 metres in Guji's Shaakkiso area, this washed lot from Bookkisa delivers the kind of clean, expressive cup that reminds you why Ethiopia sets the standard.

The Cup

The body is light and tea-like, with a silky mouthfeel that doesn't weigh you down. Acidity is pronounced and citric, led by lemon brightness with a floral jasmine lift and a subtle watermelon sweetness underneath. This is a clean, washed-process coffee with no funk or ferment character — just clarity and origin expression. The high altitude and careful processing mean every note comes through sharp and defined.

Who This Is For

If you love bright, floral coffees that taste more like tea than traditional roasty coffee, this is your lane. It's for drinkers who appreciate delicacy and nuance over body and sweetness.

If you prefer a smooth, low-acid cup with chocolate and caramel, this one will challenge you.

Best for: Filter enthusiasts who want a clean, expressive Ethiopian with classic floral and citrus character.

How to Brew This Coffee

A V60 will give you maximum clarity and let the jasmine and lemon notes shine with precision. Filter methods like Chemex or Kalita Wave work beautifully too, preserving the delicate, tea-like body without muddying the brightness. An Aeropress with a light touch can also highlight the floral character while adding a touch more body if you want it.
