— Right Side Coffee

Context

The Farid Keno Natural Espresso, sourced from the Jimma region of Ethiopia, represents a distinct expression of the JARC varietal cultivated by producer Farid Keno. As a natural-processed coffee, this lot undergoes a processing method where the cherry remains intact during drying, a technique often associated with heightened sweetness and complex fruit profiles. Right Side Coffee highlights this character through notes of blackberry candy, peach, and chocolate bonbon.

When evaluating such profiles, it is helpful to consult the flavor wheel to better identify the nuances between stone fruit and confectionery sweetness. While coffees from Ethiopia · Jimma are frequently celebrated for their vibrant acidity and aromatic depth, the specific processing choices here emphasize a rounded, dessert-like quality. This espresso offers a focused look at how regional terroir and careful post-harvest handling converge to create a balanced, fruit-forward cup that remains accessible for both filter and espresso brewing applications.
