Coffee Details

Altitude: 1900-2220 MASL

Varietal: Heirloom Typica

Process: Natural, Dried on Raised Beds

Ethiopia is perhaps one of the best known coffee growing countries and rightly so as it is the genetic birthplace of the coffee tree. Ethiopian coffee shares a medium to full body, bright acidity, floral aroma and notes of berries and wine.

This natural-processed Ethiopian from Kayon Mountain Farm in Guji showcases the classic profile of Heirloom Typica grown at elevation in the region. Dried on raised beds, natural processing typically encourages fuller body and pronounced fruit character—here expressed as berry notes with a lingering finish. The altitude range of 1900–2220 masl provides the cool growing conditions typical of this Oromia origin, allowing for complexity in the cup. Roasted by Cuvee Coffee, this lot balances the traditional terroir of Ethiopian Guji with the fruit-forward development natural processing brings.
