Wolichu — Ethiopia (Guji)
A joyous natural from the Guji highlands, Wolichu weaves apple-spritzer brightness and lilac perfume through mangosteen lift and caramelized cocoa-pecan sweetness. It’s everything fans love about fruity Ethiopian coffee: aromatic, creamy, and irresistibly drinkable across brew methods.

Origin & Drying
Smallholders deliver ripe cherry to a local washing station for careful flotation, hand-sorting and whole-cherry drying on raised beds. Meticulous turning and judicious shade help lock in clean fruit while developing a plush mouthfeel. The result is a Guji natural with perfume and poise rather than noise.

Flavor Journey
Hot: cocoa-pecan warmth and soft brown-sugar sweetness. Mid-cup: brisk apple snap and delicate lilac. Cool: mangosteen tropical pop that stays bright, not sticky. The cup finishes clean, inviting another pour.

Brewing Recommendations
V60: 17 g → 270 g at 93 °C, medium-fine. Keep pours gentle and centered; target 2:55–3:10 for floral clarity with candy-fruit depth.
Kalita Wave: 18 g → 288 g at 93 °C, three flat pours for even bed saturation and creamy texture.
Espresso: 18 g in → 42 g out in 27–30 s at 93 °C. Expect berry-jam crema and a nougat-like finish; shines as a long black or small cappuccino.

Pairings & Moments
Orange-almond cake, dark chocolate squares, fresh berries. A knockout for weekend pourover flights and a reliable “intro to naturals” for guests who think fruit = ferment (it doesn’t here).

Tip
If sweetness feels shy, raise brew temp by 1 °C or lengthen total time ~10 s to coax more caramelization without muting florals.
