Natural-processed coffees tend to develop heavier fruit character and floral complexity compared to washed methods, and this Ethiopian bundle exemplifies that profile. The Barn has identified a striking array of white florals and stone fruits—jasmine, apple blossom, white peach, and elderflower—alongside brighter citrus and subtle darker notes of chocolate and black tea. The progression from delicate florals through orchard fruit to candied citrus and jam suggests the natural processing has concentrated sugars and highlighted the origin's inherent aromatics. Ethiopia remains celebrated for coffees that express tea-like clarity and floral notes, qualities evident in this lot's tasting profile.
