This natural processed coffee from Elto Coffee in Sidama, Ethiopia, is bright and complex, opening with sweet grapefruit and juicy nectarine, leading into a subtle maple leaf–like tea finish. This is clean for a natural, but you will still find some held in cherry in the cup, so we rated it 1.25/5 on the funk scale.
Produced at elevations of 2200–2300 meters, this lot features heirloom varietals 74110, 74112, 74158, and 74165. Cherries are naturally processed, dried on raised beds.
Sold in 115g bags.
