Context

The Gedeb Lalesa Espresso, sourced from the Gedeb region of Ethiopia and produced by Ephtah Specialty Coffee, represents a classic expression of the Ethiopian Landrace varietal. Roasted by Monogram Coffee, 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-forward characteristics of the fruit pulp.

In the cup, this coffee presents a vibrant profile featuring notes of peach, lavender, and cherry cola. While natural-processed coffees often exhibit heavier fruit tones and a syrupy body, the specific nuances of this lot highlight the complex, aromatic qualities frequently associated with high-quality Ethiopian harvests. To better understand how these specific descriptors align with broader sensory categories, you can reference the flavor wheel to explore the relationships between these floral and stone fruit characteristics.
