From the roaster

Meselech Tube has been growing coffee on her farm in Sidama since the 1990s. Today she is one of thirty-something individuals who participate in a program with Lulo Coffees designed to increase market access for small-scale farmers in Ethiopia. Meselech focuses on natural processed coffees with outstanding results. Her coffee is sweet and syrupy, intensely fruity but comfortably low in acidity. In a range of brewing methods we taste blueberry, strawberry, and banana along with subtle flavors of vanilla tea and honey.

Context

Sourced from the Sidama region of Ethiopia, the Meselech Tube lot represents a focused expression of regional character curated by Partners Coffee. This coffee is processed using the natural method, a technique where the coffee cherry remains intact while drying, often allowing the bean to absorb sugars and fruit-forward characteristics from the surrounding pulp. Generally, natural-processed coffees are known for their heavier body and pronounced sweetness compared to their washed counterparts.

In the cup, this specific offering presents a complex profile featuring notes of blueberry, strawberry, and banana, balanced by delicate undertones of vanilla tea and honey. These distinct flavors can be mapped against the flavor wheel to better understand the nuances of the cup. By highlighting the work of producer Meselech Tube, this selection showcases the vibrant, fruit-driven potential inherent in high-quality Ethiopian harvests when handled with careful post-harvest processing.
