ethiopia coffee
by black betty cafe · christchurch, new zealand
expect stone fruit. this is ethiopia edido, a natural ethiopia from black betty cafe.
ethiopia edido leads with stone fruit character, the kind of sweetness and soft acidity you get from ripe peach or plum, a result of the natural process used to dry the coffee.
it comes from yirgacheffe, ethiopia, and is processed naturally, meaning the whole coffee cherry is dried with the fruit intact before the bean is extracted, which concentrates sweetness and fruit flavour.
filter methods like pour-over suit this coffee well, they highlight the clean stone fruit sweetness without overpowering it, so keep your water temperature around 92-94°c and avoid over-extraction to keep the cup bright.
