Cupping Notes:
This one has a creamy vanilla undertone with mango, stone fruit, and tropical fruit overtones. No fermented or earthy notes in this one. This is a good coffee through all the roasts but the lighter side seems to be the sweet spot. This is where you find the flavors of fruit and candy sweetness. Drink it slowly and methodically and enjoy the flashes of different fruity flavors in each sip. Don’t forget this is a natural, so anything darker than a dark medium has the potential to scorch. I do my best to get the heat down at the end of the roast.
Farming notes:
This is a NATURAL (Dry processed) Yirgacheffe coffee from the subregion of Gedeb and the Wuri mill. This area is also known as the Gedeo Zone and produces several lots of coffee each year, of varying quality. The very best grade for an Ethiopia is Grade 1, but the mill decided to produce a special microlot better than Grade 1, so they are calling this Grade 0, and claiming zero defects. Gedeb farms are at the crossroads between the famed Gedeo and Guji zones, and coffees from its high altitude villages routinely deliver some of Ethiopia’s most expressive profiles.

Recommended Roast: Light-medium to Dark
