Context

Sourced from the Gedeb region of Ethiopia, the Gedeb Lalesa is a natural-processed coffee produced by Ephtah Specialty Coffee. This lot features the diverse Ethiopian Landrace varietal, which is often celebrated for its complex aromatic profile. When exploring coffees from this origin, natural-processed beans frequently exhibit a heavier body and pronounced fruit-forward characteristics compared to their washed counterparts.

Roasted by Monogram Coffee, this selection highlights notes of peach, lavender, and cherry cola. These specific descriptors can be mapped against the flavor wheel to better understand how the inherent qualities of the landrace varietal interact with the natural drying process. By allowing the coffee cherry to dry intact around the seed, the producer encourages the development of the deep, syrupy sweetness and floral nuances that define this particular offering. It serves as a compelling example of the unique character found within the high-elevation landscapes of the Gedeb district.
