Context
The Tropical Weather - Coracle blend by Onyx Coffee Lab represents a deliberate exploration of Ethiopian coffee production. By combining both natural and washed processing methods, this offering highlights the distinct profiles inherent to the Ethiopia region. While washed coffees are often celebrated for their clean, bright acidity and clarity, natural-processed coffees tend to show heavier fruit notes and a syrupy body due to the drying process with the fruit intact. Understanding these processing methods is essential for appreciating how producers manipulate the final cup profile. As you evaluate the nuances of this specific lot, consider referencing the flavor wheel to better identify the complex characteristics that emerge from this dual-process approach. This blend serves as a compelling study in how traditional techniques can be harmonized to create a balanced and multifaceted experience for the drinker.
