[Discontinued] Ardent Gedeb Carbonic Maceration / Ethiopia

About This Coffee

This coffee opens with juicy aromas of red grape and wild berry, leaving a wine-like fruit impression from the first sip. Layers of soft, rich sweetness reminiscent of pineapple follow. The striking fruitiness and smooth texture linger pleasantly, deepening as you drink. Take your time to savor it slowly. This is a carbonic maceration lot from Ardent, led by Ashenafi Argaw. The Gedeb Washing Station is located in Yirgacheffe at 1,850–2,200m above sea level, supported by around 2,100 small-scale producers. Only fully ripe red cherries are handpicked and carefully sorted, then dried slowly over about 18 days. Stored at 11.2% moisture, the beans rest for four weeks before final processing. Their commitment to strict quality control and respect for producers creates Yirgacheffe's signature clarity and elegant flavor. This crop is particularly high-quality, offering refined sweetness and an elegant finish.
