Huila Wush Wush COLOMBIA

£16.50
  • Fruity, Complex, Juicy

A somewhat elusive variety, Wush Wush originates from southwest Ethiopia in the Keffa Zone, but having made its way to Colombia is now thriving and producing some of the best flavour profiles we’ve experienced. A low yielding plant it may be, but the coffee that comes off the tree is always worth it.

BUYING STANDARDS

It’s really important for us to work with trusted partners in our supply chain who can provide us with honesty and traceability. We have created a set of guidelines to help us source coffee in a way we feel aligns with our values and beliefs. There are three core categories that we think outline the most important factors to consider when purchasing coffee: economic transparency, social relationship, and environmental efforts.

CARBON IMPACT

Our Roaster:
We’ve recently switched to a new electric Typhoon roaster which allows us to significantly reduce our carbon footprint. We selected it for its capacity, efficiency, and to maintain the same high-quality roasting. This transition also marks a step toward our long-term goal of becoming carbon neutral, with a commitment to using 100% renewable electricity.

Our Packaging:
Our 250g bags are paper based and can be recycled with kerbside recycling or composted in your garden. We recommend storing your coffee in an airtight container like this one. Our 1kg bags are 70% wastemade (LDPE4) and recyclable with soft plastic at the supermarket. Please don't put them in your curbside recycling. The planet thanks you!

OUR PACKAGING

Our 250g bags are now fully kurbside recyclable, paper packaging. All online orders will be shipped in our plastic free bags, you can check out the reasons why we made the change here. Our 1kg bags are LDPE 4 packaging, a type of soft plastic, very common in food packaging. For home consumers LDPE 4 is still not curbside recyclable, but is accepted at local recycling points and dedicated soft plastics deposit points. Find a location near you.

ROASTING ON RENEWABLES

We’ve recently switched to a new electric Typhoon roaster which allows us to significantly reduce our carbon footprint. We selected it for its capacity, efficiency, and to maintain the same high-quality roasting. This transition also marks a step toward our long-term goal of becoming carbon neutral, with a commitment to using 100% renewable electricity. Though the installation required a significant investment in new power infrastructure, the move reinforces our dedication to sustainability and strengthens our promise to customers that we deliver on our environmental commitments.

Social Relationships

Young Producer

The Yallah Buying Standards are a set of criteria to enable us to source coffee in a way we feel aligns with our values and principles.

The future of coffee depends on many things, potentially the most important aspect is a new generation of producers who are willing to take up the mantle of those that came before. We are seeing young people migrate to urban areas in search of a better life, making it imperative to support the involvement and development of young coffee professionals in producing regions as much as possible.

Jaime Nuñez Escudero

This lot is produced by Jaime Escudero on his farm, El Roble Negro, which he inherited from his father, who had been farming it for 15 years previously. Managing more than 16 varieties of coffee across 16 hectares of land, Jaime is a committed and diligent producer who in his own words “personally grew up in this and can’t see myself doing anything else but coffee.” We love nothing more than producers who love what they do and even more so when the results taste as good as this.

This has been double fermented, for 48 hours before pulping and a further 48 hours after pulping, yielding an intense and complex flavour profile we know you are going to love.

COUNTRY OF ORIGIN

Huila, Colombia

Colombia is renowned for pushing the boundaries of coffee production and processing, being home to many of the world's best and highest paid producers.
