For our Feature Origins, we select the best from our current single origin line-up to turn into a delicious Chute.  

Going back centuries in this southern highlands area in Ethiopia, various colourful stories sprung around the discovery of a new, special red-cherry plant. Stories of frolicking goats to “birds of unusual vitality”. Since, humans have put much time and energy into perfecting this captivating beverage known as coffee. But for all the effort and development, a coffee like this one from Wenago, close to Yirgacheffe, is still much like what the first coffee drinkers would have experienced. Wenago’s quality, ripe cherries and simple natural process yields flavours as complex as the stories this beverage has generated. Enjoy!

Best served black, preferably with a nice view on a warm sunny day.
