This natural-processed Ethiopian coffee hails from Gemechu Station in Nensebo, a region within Sidamo. Natural processing—where beans dry inside their fruit—typically yields fuller body and pronounced fruit-forward profiles, and this lot exemplifies that tendency with its white peach and mango character. The addition of black tea notes suggests a refined structure beneath the fruit, a complexity common to well-executed naturals from this origin. Merit Coffee's selection reflects the nuanced potential of natural processing, where fermentation during drying develops both sweetness and subtle astringency. Coffees with this flavor profile offer an engaging entry point to Ethiopian naturals, bridging approachable fruitiness with tea-like sophistication.
