Behmore coffee roaster - Ethiopian

 Some Ethiopian Guji Wamena Gr1.

The Guji Zone lies approximately 300 to 400 km south of Addis Ababa in the Oromia Region.
In 2002, Guji itself detached from Yirgacheffe, which had previously been folded in with the Sidamo name. The Guji region takes its name from the Oromo people, a tribe that has farmed coffee on the land for generations.































“Guji Wamena” refers to coffees from the Hambela/Wamena districts inside Guji, now famous for floral, fruity, and tea-like Ethiopian profiles.

common notes: blueberry, jasmine, citrus, peach
elevation:  1,800–2,200 meters
The region uses washed vs natural processing 

I used this recipe from Roast Rebels as a guide.

These were my settings
Quantity : 270g green beans
Preheat : none

Start : P5 (for 8 mins)
8       : P4 (for 6 mins)
14     : P3 (for 2 mins).... FC
16     : Cool (run the full 13 min cooling cycle)

first crack occurred at 14 mins .
For a lighter roast cut the P3 time to 1 min 
or
press Cool at the end of the P4 cycle.


I started with 270g  and finished with 225.6 g
16.44% water loss
Thus a dark roast.
