sechs a is a blend from elbgold combining beans from ethiopia (yirgacheffe), guatemala, and el salvador. the yirgacheffe component brings the floral, fruit-forward character that region is known for, while the guatemalan and salvadoran caturra and bourbon varieties add body and structure. honey processing, where the fruit mucilage is left on the bean during drying, pushes sweetness to the front, which shows clearly in the honey and honeycomb tasting notes. it's a sweet, approachable cup with a soft texture. filter brewing will keep those delicate honey notes clean and clear.
