2025 Elora; Lot #151, Fermented Honey - Ethiopia

This is our final release from this season’s new project with the Elora site, and we could not be happier with how it has gone. These coffees have been stunning. In the cup, we find honeydew, papaya, and lime.

The 2025 Elora, Lot #151, represents a distinct offering from Ethiopia, sourced and roasted by Sey Coffee. This specific lot utilizes a fermented honey process, a technique that sits between traditional washed and natural methods. By leaving a portion of the fruit mucilage on the bean during drying, producers can influence the final cup profile, often resulting in heightened sweetness and complex acidity. You can learn more about the nuances of these processing methods to understand how such techniques impact the final cup.

Grown within the diverse landscapes of Ethiopia, this coffee presents a profile characterized by honeydew, papaya, and lime. When evaluating these specific descriptors, it can be helpful to reference a flavor wheel to better categorize the bright, fruit-forward notes found in this selection. As with many Ethiopian coffees, the interplay between the unique processing and the regional terroir creates a vibrant experience for the palate.
