Ethiopia — Salomon Hameso Boku Dembi Drying Station Ethiopian Landrace (Natural)

Tastes Like — 🍇 Pomegranate • 🍇 Red Grape • 🌸 Jasmine

DETAILS

  • Producers: Smallholders delivering to Dembi drying station (operated by Salomon Hameso Boku)
  • Region: Sidama, Ethiopia
  • Varietal: Ethiopian Landrace
  • Process: Natural (raised-bed dried)
  • Source: Primavera Coffee

INTRO
Processed as a traditional natural at Salomon Hameso Boku's newest station, Dembi. In the cup: pomegranate, red grape, and jasmine, with bergamot lingering long after the cup is finished.

THE PRODUCER
Salomon Hameso Boku first bought his farm in 2017 and, with the help of his community, has grown his operation to include several drying stations in Bensa-Huro Tibro, Kokose, Aroresa, and a new station called Dembi. This lot comes from Dembi, the newest.

THE PROCESS
This lot was processed as a traditional natural and dried on raised beds. The whole cherry dries intact, letting the fruit's sugars pass into the bean. The page doesn't give further steps.

THE CUP
An impeccably clean pomegranate note up front, cooling into a mouthfeel reminiscent of sweet red grapes. As it cools, the florals become more prominent, with jasmine and bergamot lingering long after the cup has finished.

Flavour Notes
🍇 Pomegranate 🍇 Red Grape 🌸 Jasmine

About this variety

This is a mixed or locally selected coffee population rather than one precisely identified variety. Expect the lot’s tasting notes to be more useful than a single variety stereotype.

Why this one is different
  • Ethiopia
  • Sidama
  • Natural

In Ethiopia, local selection, replanting and farm history can shape a mixed population over many generations.

Natural processing often brings a rounder, fruit-led expression, which can make the same variety feel quite different from a washed lot.

A little background

Several plant types may be growing and harvested together, often reflecting a farm or region’s planting history.

Classification Mixed population

Technical lineage The individual plants are not fully separated or identified, so a single genetic lineage would be misleading.

Variety is a guide, not a flavour guarantee. Lot notes are more specific.
