ABOUT THE PRODUCT

This lot comes from the Lalesa region, located in the Gedeb district, an area globally recognized for its exceptional coffee quality. The beans are naturally processed, with whole cherries dried slowly and evenly in the sun on raised African beds. This processing develops an amazing fruity complexity and intense sweetness, while preserving the clarity characteristic of high altitude.

The sensory profile is vibrant, fragrant, and exotic. The tasting opens with a clear floral note of jasmine. As it unfolds in the cup, the acidity becomes juicy and bright, reminiscent of the freshness of ripe nectarines. The silky and fluid body is supported by a dense and tropical papaya sweetness, which rounds out the beverage and leaves a clean, predominantly fruity aftertaste.

Benefiting from an omni roast profile, this lot offers excellent versatility and performs admirably on any equipment. Brewed using alternative methods, gentle extraction will highlight the jasmine fragrance and nectarine acidity, resulting in a delicate cup, like a fine single-origin tea. If you choose to extract it as espresso, the coffee's body intensifies under pressure, and the papaya sweetness becomes the foundation of a balanced and flavorful shot.
