026 - Ethiopia/Yemen Blend

026 is a natural-process gesha blend from ethiopia and yemen, roasted by colonna & small's. natural processing means the coffee dries inside the whole fruit, which draws out the winey, fermented character this blend is known for. gesha is a varietal associated with pronounced fruit and floral complexity, and here it shows up as something distinctly winey rather than clean or bright. because natural coffees carry a lot of sweetness and body, they tend to reward slower, lower-agitation brew methods. a pour-over or cafetière kept at a moderate temperature will let the winey quality come through without tipping into harsh or muddy territory.
