Ethiopia Mustefa Abakeno

Citrus, Tropical, Black Tea

This natural-processed Ethiopia from producer Mustefa Abakeno channels the fruit-forward character typical of Ethiopian coffees. Ceremony Coffee Roasters identifies honeysuckle and black tea as grounding floral and tannic elements, balanced against a vivid tropical fruit and citrus profile with tamarind's distinctive tartness. The combination of honeysuckle sweetness with darker tamarind notes creates complexity across the cup's arc—delicate florality giving way to more structured, tea-like body. Natural processing, common in Ethiopia, tends to amplify fruit expression and body, and this lot demonstrates that approach. For those exploring how these flavors intersect, the flavor wheel offers a useful reference framework.
