Context
The Archive: Ethiopia Mate Matiwos Natural, sourced by Verve Coffee Roasters, represents a distinct expression of the Ethiopia region. Produced by Mate Matiwos, this lot utilizes the natural process, a technique where the coffee cherry remains intact while drying, often allowing the bean to absorb the sugars and fruit characteristics of the fruit pulp. Generally, natural-processed coffees tend to show heavier fruit profiles and increased sweetness compared to their washed counterparts. You can learn more about how these processing methods influence the final cup profile in our technical guide.
In this specific offering, the roaster highlights notes of lychee, pomegranate, and vanilla custard. These descriptors can be mapped against the flavor wheel to better understand how the inherent qualities of the Ethiopian terroir interact with the natural drying process. This coffee serves as a compelling example of how producer-level care and traditional processing techniques shape the sensory experience of a single-origin lot.
