Ethiopian Landrace refers to a diverse collection of coffee varieties that evolved in Ethiopia's unique environments. These varieties are typically not selectively bred through human intervention and are well adapted to their local growing conditions.
THE PROCESS
This lot is an Anaerobic Natural: cherries ferment in a sealed, oxygen-limited environment and dry whole, building the bright fruit sweetness and giving the cup its depth. The page doesn't give further steps.
