— Right Side Coffee

Context

Heleanna’s Black Honey Filtro, roasted by Right Side Coffee, offers a distinct expression of the Sheka region in Ethiopia. By utilizing a honey process—a method that leaves a portion of the fruit mucilage on the bean during drying—this lot bridges the gap between the clarity of washed coffees and the intensity of naturals. The use of heirloom varieties further anchors this coffee in the traditional genetic diversity of its origin.

When evaluating the profile, which features notes of flor de azahar, pomelo, and piña, it is helpful to reference a flavor wheel to identify the nuances of these citrus and floral characteristics. While honey-processed coffees often exhibit a syrupy body and heightened sweetness compared to their fully washed counterparts, the specific outcome here highlights the delicate balance achieved by producer Heleanna. This selection serves as a compelling example of how meticulous post-harvest handling can refine the inherent qualities of Ethiopian heirloom cultivars.
