INTRO
Roasted just a touch darker than the filter version, this espresso roast makes fantastic straight shots and Americanos. Ethiopia is having a banner year, and Habtamu is knocking it out of the park with a big, ripe apricot coupled with a touch of pineapple and jasmine-like florals. It was first roasted for monthly subscribers in July and is now available to everyone. In the cup: apricot, pineapple, and jasmine.
THE PRODUCER
Habtamu Fikadu Aga is the producer and exporter of this lot, which comes from Danche in southern Ethiopia. Kuri Mountain Coffee was founded in 2015 and started back in 1945 as a family business. Coffee cherry comes to the mill from many farms in the region, spanning hundreds of hectares.
THE PROCESS
The ripe cherry was sorted, pulped, fermented, washed, and dried on raised beds. This is traditional washed coffee.
The straightforward, traditional washed protocol is the defining approach here. It lets the naturally big apricot and jasmine character come through cleanly, which holds up in the slightly darker espresso roast.
THE CUP
Big and ripe: apricot leads, with a touch of pineapple and jasmine-like florals rounding out the cup. Works well as straight shots and Americanos.
