INTRO
September's first time working with Reshad Ababulgu, a second-generation coffee farmer based in Agaro, Jimma. Juicy, clean, and balanced, with white florals and juicy citrus. In the cup: intense black tea-like florals, plums and peaches, and delicate lemon tea citrus.
THE PRODUCER
Reshad took over his family's farm from his father 20 years ago, replanting it with newer varieties such as the 74110 in this lot. These newer varieties are more resistant to coffee berry disease and produce many different flavour profiles. Reshad focuses on quality, with the goal of earning more to support his family and the surrounding community.
74110 is a locally selected subvariety of Ethiopian Heirloom, developed in the 1970s at the Jimma Agricultural Research Center for resistance to coffee berry disease. The "74" prefix indicates selection and cataloguing in 1974, from an original "mother tree" in Bishari village in Oromia. The trees are short and compact, with small leaves and cherries.
THE PROCESS
Processing on the farm is done primarily by hand. After picking and sorting, the outer husk is removed while a very thin layer of mucilage remains on the seed. The coffee is then dried without washing, preserving the natural sweetness from the cherry's mucilage.
The thin layer of mucilage left on the seed through drying is the defining step. It preserves the cherry's natural sweetness, building the stone fruit character behind this clean, balanced cup.
THE CUP
Juicy, clean, and balanced: intense florals reminiscent of black tea, plums and peaches, and delicate citrus like lemon tea. Light body with a sparkling, citric finish.
