Tinned peach, bergamot, strawberry jam

Wush Wush Natural

A small natural lot of the Wush Wush varietal from the Bench Maji zone in south-west Ethiopia, dried whole on raised beds for twenty-one days with cherry turned by hand every two hours through the first week. That much attention is why there are only nine bags of it, and why it costs what it costs. It drinks like tinned peaches, bergamot and a strawberry-jam sweetness, with a tea-like body that some people find too delicate and others buy four bags of. Brew it gently — 58 g/L, 92 °C, coarser than you think — and drink it before it has cooled all the way. Once these nine bags are gone we will not have it again this year.
