Region and Farm Introduction: Sidama is one of Ethiopia's most celebrated specialty coffee-growing regions, known for its high elevations, fertile soils, and favourable climate. These conditions support coffees with delicate floral aromatics, vibrant citrus acidity, and expressive fruit sweetness.
The name Twakok is derived from Tafac Kok, meaning “Sweet Peach,” reflecting the distinctive peach-like sweetness associated with this coffee. Produced by smallholder farmers, Twakok is recognised for its elegant floral character, juicy stone-fruit notes, and refined tea-like finish.
Processing Method Features: The Washed process begins with carefully selected ripe coffee cherries, which are depulped and fermented to remove the remaining mucilage. The beans are then thoroughly washed and slowly dried on raised African beds.
This process enhances flavour clarity and highlights Twakok's delicate floral aromatics, bright citrus characteristics, and natural fruit sweetness. The result is a clean, juicy, and elegant cup with a refined tea-like finish.
