THE PRODUCER This lot comes from the Hambela Buku Sayisa station in Guji, Ethiopia, where 74114 variety trees grow at 2,000–2,300 masl — an elevation that slows cherry ripening and encourages pronounced sweetness and fruity character. Harvested in January 2026, this is a fresh crop with a clearly defined flavour profile.
THE PROCESS This lot is a Natural — cherries are dried whole, keeping the beans in contact with the pulp for longer and promoting greater sweetness, fuller body, and more intense fruity notes.
This extended pulp contact is the defining step — it's what gives the coffee its distinctive candy-like character, complemented by the subtle wine-like note in the finish.
THE CUP Sweet and lively — Bon Pari currant candy sweetness leads, followed by Mon Chéri praline richness, and rounded out by an elegant red wine depth. Higher acidity balanced by pronounced sweetness gives this cup a clean, harmonious character.
