Golden Beans Australia 2020 awarded single origin coffee
Coffees grow in small farmers backyards in the Yirgacheffe region. The coffees are known as “Garden coffee” and they are harvested from October-January.
Once lots get combined on washing stations, coffee is dried on African beds under sunlight. Lots then get combined and sold through the Ethiopian Commodity Exchange (ECX). After coffee is bought by Primrose, lots go under further quality control screening.
We have roasted this coffee very light, the intensity of the brewed coffee would not be such a challenge to even non-coffee drinkers.
The nuances of natural Ethiopian coffee are not particularly strong; however, it does tell us it is natural process by some flavour notes softly cutting through.
- (Often) It can be developed within the range of berry flavours and aroma such as strawberry / sweet blueberry / fresh mixed berries
- (Often) It can be developed within the range of bitter citric flavours such as grapefruit / lemon pith
- (Sometimes) The dark savoury flavours can be sensed as green herb / 85%-90% cacao / Asian black tea such as Oolong
- (Sometimes) It can be developed within the range of spicy flavours such as curry / mace / juniper berry
- (Often) The sweetness is likely to be caramel / jam / toffee mixed with gentle level of floral notes
- (Often) The range of body is medium to medium heavy, smooth, creamy, also coating but it can vary depending on different extractions
Also we have found this coffee consistently fresh mixed berries-like, caramel, and citric during our production cupping & tasting with plenty of various brewing methods, so most of you are likely to get those as well.
