This cup doesn't quit. Going the Distance earns its name in every sip, a full natural built on a 24 hour cold water fermentation followed by three to four weeks of sun drying on raised beds. Smallholder farmers in the Buku Sayasa community deliver the cherry, Royal handles the process, and they call it Supernatural. Floral, jammy, and spiced up front, it turns smooth and complex the longer you sit with it, and just when you think you've got it figured out, there's more.

Produced by the Buku Sayasa community, this offering from Revolver Coffee highlights the distinct character of the Ethiopia · Guji region. The FUNK Going The Distance Natural Filter utilizes the Bourbon varietal, a plant known for its balanced cup profile and historical significance in coffee cultivation. By employing a natural process, the producers allow the coffee cherry to dry intact, a method often associated with increased sweetness and body in the final cup.

When evaluating the floral, jammy, spiced, and smooth notes described by the roaster, it can be helpful to reference a flavor wheel to better identify these nuanced characteristics. While natural-processed coffees often exhibit heavier fruit-forward profiles, the specific interplay of these attributes in this lot reflects the unique terroir of the Guji zone. This selection serves as a compelling example of how traditional processing techniques and specific varietals converge to create a complex sensory experience.
