ethiopia coffee
by rum baba coffeeroasters shop & brew-bar east · amsterdam, netherlands
you'll taste tropical fruit before black tea. this is ethiopia halo beriti, an anaerobic ethiopia from rum baba coffeeroasters shop & brew-bar east.
expect tropical fruit in the foreground with a black tea character running through the cup, giving it a clean, tea-like quality that sets it apart from heavier, chocolate-forward coffees.
it comes from the yirgacheffe region of ethiopia and is processed anaerobically, where the coffee cherries ferment in a sealed, low-oxygen environment before drying, which intensifies the fruit and floral characteristics.
as a light roast, it responds well to filter or pour-over brewing, which preserves the delicate tropical fruit and tea-like notes without over-extracting the more subtle flavors.
both roasting and serving out of the same operation takes a particular kind of commitment, and rum baba on pretoriusstraat does exactly that. you're in the oost neighbourhood here, far enough from the tourist drag that the people coming through the door are mostly locals who've made a deliberate choice to be here. the roasting side of things shapes what ends up in your cup, which is a different proposition from a shop that just buys in wholesale and moves on. east amsterdam has its own unhurried pace, and this place fits that rhythm. if you get there on a weekday morning, pretoriusstraat is quiet enough that you can actually sit with whatever they're pouring and not feel rushed through it.
