Context
The Ethiopia Shakiso Doyenne Natural, roasted by Onyx Coffee Lab, represents a distinct expression of the Shakiso region. As a natural-processed coffee, the cherries are dried with the fruit intact, a technique that often imparts a heavier body and pronounced sweetness compared to washed counterparts. Understanding these processing methods is essential for identifying how the interaction between the bean and the fruit pulp influences the final cup profile.
When evaluating a coffee of this origin, tasters often look for the complex, layered acidity characteristic of the region. To better articulate these nuances, we recommend referencing the flavor wheel to categorize the specific aromatic compounds present in this lot. By focusing on the interplay between the natural processing and the unique terroir of Shakiso, one can gain a deeper appreciation for the craftsmanship required to produce such a specialized offering.
