Context

The Ethiopia Suke Quto, sourced by Flying Goat Coffee, represents the distinct profile of the Guji region. Produced by Tesfaye Bekele, this organic lot is grown at elevations between 1800 and 2200 meters above sea level. Unlike natural-processed coffees, which often exhibit heavier fruit-forward characteristics, this selection undergoes a fully washed method. This traditional approach typically emphasizes a cleaner cup profile, allowing the inherent brightness and acidity of the bean to shine through.

In this specific offering, the roaster highlights notes of red peach, lemon zest, and honey. When evaluating these nuances, drinkers may find it helpful to reference a flavor wheel to better identify the delicate interplay between the citrus-like zest and the underlying sweetness. By focusing on the meticulous processing and the unique terroir of Guji, this coffee serves as a refined example of what high-altitude Ethiopian production can achieve.
