About This Coffee

Ripe cherries are delivered to the wet mill, where they are floated to remove defects, graded and then transferred to African raised beds for drying. The coffee is shaded during the hottest hours of the day and turned frequently to ensure even drying. This careful process typically takes 20-30 days, allowing the cherries to slowly develop sweetness and complexity before reaching their target moisture content. The result is a beautifully balanced natural coffee bursting with mixed berry sweetness, juicy purple grape character and a smooth cocoa finish. It is expressive without being overwhelming, offering the kind of balance and drinkability that makes Ethiopian naturals so enduringly popular.
