Ethiopia Suke Quto from Dancing Goats Coffee captures everything that makes washed Ethiopian coffee a global favorite: vivid brightness, layered sweetness, and complexity that unfolds sip after sip. Grown in the Odo Shakisso region of Guji Zone at elevations between 1,800 and 2,200 meters, this coffee showcases the delicate, expressive character of Ethiopian heirloom varieties processed with meticulous care.
Tasting Notes
The cup opens with the juicy snap of white grape and vibrant orange citrus that dances across your palate without overwhelming it. As the coffee cools, a touch of nougat sweetness emerges, adding depth and a creamy finish that balances the acidity beautifully. The body is medium-light and silky, with a finish that's clean yet lingering—the hallmark of a well-executed washed process. This is Ethiopian coffee at its most classic: delicate structure, bright fruit, and sweet complexity all in harmony.
Brew Methods
Suke Quto shines brightest in methods that highlight its clarity and nuance. Pour over devices like the V60 or Kalita Wave bring out the citrus brightness and floral aromatics, while a Chemex emphasizes the coffee's clean body and nougat sweetness. For espresso lovers, this coffee pulls a remarkably balanced shot with orange marmalade brightness and a sweet, lingering finish—just dial in on the lighter side to preserve the delicate fruit notes. French press works well too, especially if you prefer a fuller body that brings forward the nougat and softens the acidity.
