This Ethiopia Reshad Ababulgu, sourced by Subtext Coffee Roasters, highlights the unique intersection of regional terroir and meticulous post-harvest handling. Produced by Reshad Ababulgu, this lot features the Gibirinna varietal, a selection that reflects the immense genetic diversity found within Ethiopia. The coffee is prepared using the white honey process, a technique that sits between washed and natural methods by leaving a thin layer of mucilage on the bean during drying. Generally, processing methods like this are employed to balance the clean acidity of a washed coffee with the subtle, syrupy sweetness often associated with honey-processed lots. As you evaluate the cup, you may find it helpful to reference the flavor wheel to identify the nuanced characteristics that emerge from this specific combination of varietal and processing. This offering serves as a compelling example of how careful farm-level management can elevate the profile of distinct Ethiopian heirloom cultivars.
