At its core, this coffee reflects a classic natural Ethiopian expression, shaped by careful cherry selection and slow, high-elevation drying. Ripe fruit character comes through clearly, with Blood Orange and Peach notes leading the cup, while a restrained Juniper accent adds dimension. The natural process enhances sweetness and body, resulting in a juicy, layered profile with a creamy mouthfeel and a long, fruit-driven finish. Despite its intensity, the cup stays cohesive, delivering depth without tipping into heaviness.
