Description

Description Green coffee is raw Roast prior to consumption This Ethiopian natural coffee comes from the Durame Village of Kembata at 2050 meters above sea level, where extremely fertile soil creates ideal conditions for growing high-quality Ethiopian Heirloom varietals. The high altitude and rich volcanic soil contribute to the coffee's exceptional flavor development and complexity. The natural processing method incorporates a unique 36-48 hour fermentation process in the wet mill before the cherries are moved to raised beds for sun drying. The unwashed cherries spend 16-17 days drying under the Ethiopian sun, allowing the fruit sugars to fully penetrate the beans and create the intense fruit-forward profile characteristic of this processing method. Harvested in November and exported in April, this Grade 1 coffee showcases the exceptional terroir of the Kembata region. The combination of high altitude, fertile soil, and careful processing creates a cup that balances bright citrus acidity with rich chocolate depth and vibrant blueberry sweetness, demonstrating why Ethiopian naturals are considered among the world's most distinctive coffees. Cupping notes : Meyer lemon, dark chocolate, and blueberry notes with vibrant fruit character; high acidity, high body; above average sweetness with bright citrus and rich berry complexity.
