ABOUT THE COFFEE

We did it. We got our hands on the long-awaited Ethiopian, jammy natural. It doesn’t need to shout that it’s top tier — you can tell as soon as you open the bag. This is thanks to Ayele Adoli, who sticks to classic, proven methods: hand-picking cherries at full ripeness and slow drying on African raised beds. Add the high-altitude Harruu microregion, with its stable climate, abundant sunshine, and low humidity, and the recipe for outstanding beans is complete.

After harvest, ripe cherries are placed on raised tables, where they dry slowly for 25–30 days. They then rest in sealed bags in a shaded warehouse to equalize moisture before continuing their journey. This is the most classic expression of an Ethiopian natural — no gimmicks, no pressure to “experiment,” just consistency that gets the job done.

In the cup, that consistency shines the brightest. Notes of plum, forest fruit jam, and a delicate floral accent carry the profile with elegance, while subtle wine-like character adds depth and structure, leaving a pleasantly round, syrupy impression.

Store in a cold and dry space.
