Ethiopia | Musa Abalulesa Honey

Our first arrival of Ethiopia's fresh harvest, this honey process is as clean as any washed coffee with softly rounded stone fruit and citrus notes (sweet lime) along with an undertone of green tea-like jasmine.

Musa Abalulesa's honey-processed offering from Ethiopia showcases the versatility of this producer's lot selection. Honey processing—a technique that retains fruit contact during drying—is known to bridge the brightness of natural methods with the clarity of washed coffees, often emphasizing sweetness and fruit complexity. La Barba Coffee's tasting notes of stone fruit and citrus suggest a dynamic acidity, while the floral jasmine notes and green tea character point toward the delicate, tea-like qualities that Ethiopian coffees can express.

This lot carries notes of sweet lime alongside those stone fruit and citrus impressions, creating a balanced profile suited to exploration. Learn more about honey processing and how it shapes cup character, or reference the flavor wheel to map these tasting impressions across the sensory spectrum.
