ethiopia coffee · cup of excellence
by fratello coffee roasters · calgary, canada
you'll taste stone fruit before tropical fruit. this is ethiopia shantawene natural g1 - limited quantities, a natural ethiopia from fratello coffee roasters.
this coffee leads with stone fruit and tropical fruit flavors, a character driven by the natural process where the bean dries inside the whole fruit. it's a cup of excellence lot, so the raw material is graded at the top tier for its harvest.
it comes from shantawene in ethiopia and is processed naturally, meaning the whole coffee cherry is dried before the seed is removed. this method builds fruit-forward sweetness and body into the final cup.
as a light roast, it benefits from brew methods that highlight delicate fruit notes, such as pour-over or aeropress, using water around 88 to 92°c to avoid muting the stone fruit and tropical fruit character.
