Tasting NotesTasting notesThe flavors a roaster perceives in the cup — 'jasmine, apricot, black tea'. Descriptive associations, not ingredients: nothing is added to the coffee.: JuicyAcidityThe bright, lively, fruit-like sensation in coffee — praise, not a flaw. Citric sparkle, malic apple-crispness, tartaric wine notes; light roasts preserve more of it. ripe peaches, raspberry, lemonade & melon Region: Buku, Oromia, Guji District: Hambela Wamena Varietal: HeirloomHeirloom (Ethiopia)A catch-all label for Ethiopia's thousands of indigenous, largely uncatalogued coffee varieties — used when a lot's exact genetics are unknown. Process: 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. Recipes: Espresso: 1:2.5 | Filter: 1:17 About: It has been a long time since we have seen an Ethiopian natural this exciting! The big juicy peachy aromatics follow through right into the cup. Every time we had a sip our knees buckled and drool started coming out of the side of our mouths, this is how we knew we had to get this in the roastery! This lot came first place in the Africa Taste of Harvest competition. It has been carefully prepared on raised beds in the area of Buku, a district of Hambela Wamena, in the broader Guji area. This coffee has been hand picked and matured with the strict supervision from the dry mill manager. Grown at high altitude between 1980-2330masl this beautiful natural has unique and delicious characteristics in the cup. Roasting days: Proud Mary roast Monday-Friday during normal business hours.
