    We work closely with several importers of Ethiopian coffee and are always on watch for stand out examples of Natural (Dry) processed coffees that show lots of fruit forwardness but are clean. This is an example of one such coffee. It originates from the Konga zone or district of Yirgacheffe in south central Ethiopia which itself is located in the Gedeo Zone. This is one of the most famous coffee growing regions in the country and indeed the world. The cup itself was very impressive and is, in part the result of its cafeful preparation. It is grade 1 or as close to zero defect coffee as can be accomplished. Like most natural processed coffee there are some quakers or immature beans but the number of them here is minimal.

    We were very impressed with the cup. Fruity, notably blueberry and very clean and transparent. The fruit intensity is surely there but the process does not mask the deliciousness of the underlying coffee. Coffee is brought to the local washing station by area smallholder farmers. This is an excellent coffee for a fair price.
