Tasting NotesTasting notesThe flavors a roaster perceives in the cup — 'jasmine, apricot, black tea'. Descriptive associations, not ingredients: nothing is added to the coffee.: Cocoa + Vanilla + Blueberry Banko Gotiti processing station is located in the coveted Gedeb district, the southernmost district of Ethiopia’s famous Gedeo zone—it is well known for its gifted processing conditions & experienced growers. SmallholderSmallholderA farmer growing coffee on a small family plot — often under two hectares. Most of the world's coffee is grown this way, typically pooled at cooperatives or washing stations. farmers provide cherries to the station, with each farm growing approximately 3.5 hectares of coffee. Most of the farmers also plant the ensete, a genus of monocarpic flowering plants. It is a fruit-less relative of the banana tree whose pulp is scraped & packed into cakes, fermented underground, & then toasted as kocho, a staple starch in the area. The naturalNatural processThe whole cherry is dried with the fruit still on the seed. Gives heavier body and big fruit flavors — think berries and wine — sometimes with a fermenty edge. processed coffees are hand-sorted upon arrival, then transported to raised beds to dry fully for around three to four weeks. Finished dried cherry pods are then stored locally to rest, which allows internal moisture to equilibrize, & then they are de-husked. ROASTMASTER NOTES: Renowned for soft noters of blueberry, I would never roast this elegant Ethiopian coffee as anything other than a light roastLight roastRoasted just past first crack to preserve origin character: higher acidity, florals, and fruit, lighter body. The signature of Nordic-style roasting.. This coffee shines with a rich cocoa bodyBodyThe weight and texture of coffee in the mouth, from tea-like and delicate to syrupy and heavy. Driven by process, roast, variety, and brew method. embracing sweet notes of vanilla rounded out by a subtle & refreshing strawberry & blueberry finish. Best brewed as a pour over, this is a must-have coffee for the coffee enthusiast! – Desmond Mulvey, Roastmaster CALIBER COFFEE IS PROUDLY MADE IN REGINA, SASKATCHEWAN, CANADA
