Ethiopia Gedeb Chelbesa Natural

This coffee is from one of our favourite areas of Ethiopia; Gedeb. Gedeb always produces very sweet and flavourful lots and we beleive this is partly due to the varieties planted there along with the relative youth of the coffee trees. This particular lot is from Chelbesa and is processed as a natural. 

Due to its elevation, this lot has a med-high natural acidity. During processing, it was subject to small amounts of fermentation, producing sweet, 'fruited' aromatics. This increases its perceived sweetness and balances the med-high level of acidity produced through elevation. A small amount of 'ferment' is detectable in the cup as yellow tropical fruit (created by the aromatic esters produced during processing). The roast profile in both filter and espresso aim to display the fruited (acidity-driven) characters produced at origin. Expect tropical yellow fruits and red fruits in the cup.
