The coffee comes from the Shanta Golba Cooperative, part of the Sidamo Coffee Farmers Union. Only ripe cherries are picked (rare for a natural Ethiopian coffee)and dried on raised beds. Drying on raised beds allows better air circulation around the beans for a more uniform drying process.
The Sidamo region of Ethiopia is known for coffees with fruit and floral flavors, with the natural processed coffees screaming of berries. This lot is just that, from the aroma to the aftertaste you will not be able to miss the blueberry, blackberry and raspberry. When roasted light the berries are vibrant and the body medium with a bright clean finish. Want more coffee with your berries, roast just into the second crack, and just imagine thick, berry, jammy, rummy.
