Region and Farm Introduction: Twakok is a named coffee lot from Ethiopia’s Sidama region. Sidama is known for high-altitude coffee cultivation and smallholder farming, where coffee is often grown in family-managed garden plots and delivered to local washing stations.
The name Twakok is commonly explained as coming from the local words Tafac (sweet) and Kok (peach), reflecting the peach-like sweetness associated with this coffee. The exact producer and washing station for this batch have not been confirmed.
Processing Method Features: The Washed process begins with ripe cherry selection and depulping. The beans are then fermented in water to remove the remaining mucilage, washed clean, and dried on raised African beds.
This process generally produces a cleaner, more transparent cup, allowing citrus acidity, delicate sweetness, and tea-like characteristics to stand out.
