Wush Wush is a rare Arabica variety originating from the highlands of southwestern Ethiopia, named after the Wushwush area in the Keffa region. Like Panama’s celebrated Geisha, Wush Wush belongs to Ethiopia’s extraordinary coffee heritage and has attracted increasing attention among specialty coffee producers for its distinctive aromatic character. The variety is known for its relatively low productivity and its potential to develop intensely floral, delicate and complex sensory profiles. Its cultivation in Central and South America represents an interesting chapter in the exploration of Ethiopian coffee genetics beyond their original growing regions. At Finca Hartmann, Wush Wush is cultivated in the forested highlands of Chiriquí, where the family’s careful agricultural practices provide the foundation for its development. The Anaerobic Washed process introduces another layer of complexity. Fermentation takes place under oxygen-limited conditions, allowing controlled microbial activity to influence the coffee’s aromatic development. The coffee is subsequently washed and carefully dried, helping create a balance between fermentation-derived complexity and the clarity traditionally associated with washed processing. In KUDU’s Wush Wush, these elements come together in a particularly elegant expression. Jasmine and tangerine aromas introduce delicate notes of black tea, mandarin and citrus, carried by a silky, tea-like body. The experience concludes with a floral, citrusy and clean finish, showcasing the remarkable delicacy and aromatic precision of this distinctive Panamanian coffee.
