Seasonal • Mesfin Bekele
This incredible Wush Wush offering was produced by Mesfin Bekele at his brother Biru Bekele’s self-named washing station. The lot consists of Wush Wush cherries from local smallholder farmers in the town of Hambela, in Guji, Ethiopia.
After being harvested, the fresh Wush Wush cherries were sealed in porous polypropylene bags, creating a low-oxygen environment for fermentation that developed deeply complex, boozy, and rich flavors from the already fruit-forward and vibrant Wush Wush variety. The cherries were left to ferment for 120 hours before being moved to raised mesh beds, where they sun-dried for 10-12 days.
