An exceptional exotic coffee, delightfully unforgettable in cup, and ultimately showcasing the wild Ethiopian heirloom flair! Sun-dried natural process. Full-City Medium Roast.

From the Guji zone in the Oromia Region in Ethiopia, this coffee is good no matter how it is brewed. Undergoing a dry process, the cherries are placed in elevated beds to dry, often for up to 22 days, to ensure a regulated temperature and uniformity in the drying process. Bright and sweet, this bean's vibrant and tart blueberry notes are drizzled with creamy and warm hints of caramel. Brewed in any pot, this coffee can animate any dull morning. Used as an espresso, and the bright fruit-filled flavor will bring this full-bodied taste to life.

The Natural Process: 

This coffee is also one of our few “Naturally Processed” coffees. This does not imply it is healthier than others, but rather that the fruit around the coffee bean (seed) is not removed and washed away before sun-drying, which also provides a natural fermentation. This imparts flavors unique to the coffees that undergo this process such as berry fruits, a wine-like sweetness, and often a fuller body and mouthfeel.
