This is a new category of washed Ethiopian: Grade Zero. The concept of the Grade Zero initiative is to design a near-perfect rendition of top micro-lots from southern Ethio- pia, presenting a better-than-Grade-1 result, hence the Grade “Zero”. Once dried and rested, the parchment coffee is treated to extra sorting steps at the dry mill, including additional passes through the optical sorting machine and slower, more meticulous hand-sorting by the mill’s highly skilled team. These extra steps produce an exceptionally clean coffee.
