Flavour Category
fruit fruit
High quality coffee has wide ranging, naturally occurring taste notes. The dominant flavour profile in this coffee is Fruit. Many coffees have fruity notes, not surprising considering that coffee beans are seeds of a fruit. Naturally processed coffees are often fruity as the method enables more of the sugars in the fruit are absorbed in the beans.
Roast
This coffee is a light roast. Roast level influences the flavour and body of coffee. Darker roasts are fuller bodied, lighter roasts brighter. The beans are light brown in colour (unsurprisingly), it will retain more of the natural flavour of the coffee. This can result in a higher acidity and may often show more fruit and floral notes. This roast style means the quality of the coffee shines through the best.
Quality Score
87.0
Coffee scoring over 80 on Speciality Coffee Association scale is considered High Quality, Speciality Coffee.
Best Brewed As
filter
This coffee is best brewed as a filter (cafetiere, pour over, aeropress, drip, etc.). All our coffees can be brewed using any method, but this is our recommendation for a method which suits the coffee particularly well.
Processing Method
This coffee was processed using the natural method. Post-harvest processing influences the taste profile. Washed coffees are brighter, naturally processed are sweeter and honey processed are somewhere in between.

More about this microlot

Full bodied and floral, with complex peach-like acidity, a heavy, creamy body and milk chocolate in the finish. This naturally processed Ethiopian coffee was grown by Elias Banate, in the famous coffee-growing region of Yirgacheffe.

From his 12 hectare farm, Elias provides for his large family of 12 children. In addition to coffee, he also grows false banana, avocado, banana and mango. After harvesting the mature coffee cherries by hand, the coffee is sorted, again by hand, before being laid out on raised drying beds. Under direct sunlight, the coffee cherries dry within 21 days of being picked. Once dried, the coffee is brought to the dry-mill of Yirgacheffe Coffee Farmers Cooperative Union where the dried fruit is removed and the coffee is milled and sorted in preparation for export.
