— Maude Coffee
Context
The Tegal, sourced from Ethiopia and roasted by Maude Coffee, offers a profile defined by strawberry, jasmine, and lemon. This lot is prepared using the natural process, a method where the coffee cherry remains intact while drying, often allowing the bean to absorb the sugars and fruit characteristics of the fruit pulp. While natural-processed coffees frequently exhibit heavier fruit-forward profiles and increased sweetness, the specific interplay of floral and citrus notes in this selection highlights the diverse range of flavors found within the region. To better understand how these specific descriptors align with broader sensory categories, you can consult the flavor wheel. This coffee serves as a compelling example of how traditional processing techniques can accentuate the inherent qualities of Ethiopian heirloom varieties, resulting in a cup that balances delicate aromatics with vibrant, fruit-driven acidity.
