Wush Wush
A rare Ethiopian coffee variety named after the town of Wush Wush in the Keffa zone--the birthplace of Coffea arabica. Prized for tropical fruit character, floral complexity, and wine-like acidity.
Definition
What Wush Wush is
Wush Wush is a distinct Ethiopian coffee variety (Coffea arabica) native to the forests of southwestern Ethiopia. The name comes from the town of Wush Wush in the Keffa zone, part of the region where coffee originated.
Unlike the more common heirloom designation that covers diverse genetic material, Wush Wush is a specific variety with identifiable characteristics. It was later transplanted to Colombia and other origins, but Ethiopian Wush Wush remains the benchmark.
