Until a few years ago, Gedeb was a remote area that took nearly eight hours to reach by car from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia’s capital. However, with the opening of a new road in 2016, travel time was reduced to approximately three hours.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGedeb is one of Ethiopia’s most suitable areas for coffee cultivation, with coffee trees covering about a quarter of the land. The district is divided into 16 administrative areas, including Worka Sakaro. The region has well-drained slopes and lush greenery, creating ideal conditions for natural cultivation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFalse banana trees, also known as enset, are particularly common around the coffee trees. Their fallen leaves naturally decompose into compost, enriching the soil with nitrogen and making it softer and more fertile.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe name “Worka” means “gold” in the local Gedeo language. According to local history, when a representative of Haile Selassie, Ethiopia’s last emperor, visited the area, he was deeply impressed by the hospitality of the local people and began calling it the “Land of Gold.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSince the 2019 harvest, the Worka Sakaro washing station has been owned by Ranger, a subsidiary of BNT. The station was established with the goal of producing even higher-quality Yirgacheffe coffee. Skilled workers are employed with fair wages, and every step of processing and drying is carried out with great care.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis coffee came about through a slightly different approach than usual.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe received a request to roast a coffee that could be used consistently for espresso in a café. With that in mind, we adjusted the roast profile of this Wuri Natural.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlthough we often roast this coffee darker each year, this time we chose a medium-light roast to bring out its best qualities as espresso.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOur goal was to create a balanced cup with slightly softer acidity, while preserving the fruity character typical of Ethiopian natural coffees and bringing out a rich, full-bodied sweetness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDuring the early stage of roasting, we applied plenty of heat to help the beans expand properly. In the middle stage, we allowed a little more time to carefully balance acidity and sweetness. The result is a coffee that retains its vibrant fruitiness while developing a deeper, richer sweetness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen brewed as a pour-over, the acidity is gentle, allowing the natural sweetness of the fruit to gradually spread across the palate. This makes it an enjoyable coffee even for those who do not usually drink light-roasted coffees.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen hot, it offers berry-like flavors reminiscent of raspberries, accompanied by the soft sweetness of milk chocolate.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs the coffee cools, richer and more syrupy sweetness begins to emerge, bringing to mind yellow peaches and blueberry jam.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt still has the beautiful fruitiness that Ethiopian coffees are known for, but with gentle acidity and sweetness taking center stage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn short, it is a wonderfully sweet and delicious coffee.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Philocoffea","offers":[{"title":"Whole Beans \/ 100g","offer_id":50821695471791,"sku":null,"price":325.0,"currency_code":"THB","in_stock":true},{"title":"Whole Beans \/ 200g (20% OFF)","offer_id":50821695504559,"sku":null,"price":519.0,"currency_code":"THB","in_stock":true},{"title":"Whole Beans \/ 1000g (30% OFF)","offer_id":50821695537327,"sku":null,"price":2269.0,"currency_code":"THB","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0517\/7825\/7071\/files\/2026-11-05_14.01.14.png?v=1793855680","url":"https:\/\/en.philocoffea.com\/en-th\/products\/462-ethiopia-wuri-natural","provider":"Philocoffea","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
