Ethiopia Guji Korate Dry Process

I don't have a ton to say about this coffee because it does of does the guji and dry process thing we dig. I'd say this coffee is kind of neat in that as it's cooling you will pick up different characteristics within the cup however it's all very familiar. Or at least familiar to me. Fruit bomb type without being "overly so".

The Ethiopia Guji Korate Dry Process, offered by Royal Mile Coffee, represents a classic expression of the Ethiopia · Guji region. As a dry-processed selection, this coffee undergoes a traditional method where the cherry remains intact while drying, a technique often associated with intensified sweetness and complex body. Generally, processing methods like this can significantly influence the final cup profile, often resulting in the vibrant, fruit-forward characteristics described by the roaster as a "fruit bomb."

When evaluating such distinct profiles, it is helpful to reference the flavor wheel to identify the specific nuances that emerge from these natural drying techniques. Because the bean interacts with the fruit pulp throughout the drying stage, these coffees frequently exhibit a heavier mouthfeel and pronounced berry-like acidity compared to their washed counterparts. This lot serves as a compelling example of how regional terroir and careful post-harvest handling converge to create a unique sensory experience.
