We love this coffee as a filter, AeroPress, or funky espresso-based drink. Add milk and it tastes like a berry milkshake…
If there’s one coffee fact you need to know about our co-founder, James at Jericho Coffee Traders, it’s that he loves a naturally processed Ethiopian coffee, so our Source has to be up to par to keep the boss man happy.
This coffee is a classic Sidamo-style natural with a built-in premium that the exporter uses to build wells in producer villages. This either improves or provides access to clean water, and is currently from Idido village.
Cherries are harvested and picked individually by hand. Pickers rotate among trees every eight to ten days, choosing only the cherries that are a deep red colour.
For the natural, the oldest method of processing coffee, the entire cherry after harvest is first cleaned and then placed in the sun to dry on tables lining the hills.
