Description

On a small farm in the Durame Village, this Heirloom variety is grown at 2100 meters above sea level in fertile soil ideal for growing the highest quality coffee beans. Once the beans have completed a 36–48-hour fermentation process in a wet mill, they are laid in raised beds to dry in the sunlight. These Ethiopian beans can spend up to 21 days drying to ensure they’re ready for export.

Cupping notes: Blueberry, Strawberry, and Milk Chocolate.

The blueberries are well-pronounced, but you must be spot-on with your roast profile phase percentages. I found that 50% DE, 37% Maillard, 13% DEV carried the body into a longing drink and helped the blueberries hold that all while making a very smooth cup. My first roast was 10% and less pronounced. Pushing drop temp to 413 also better than 408. Delicious. For me, there were defects in eveness that keep it from the 5 stars, Many more quakers than usual. Beans that were very blonde that need to be deleted.

Where can I find roasting tips? That's why I buy from y'all but I can find nothing on this one.

This was tricky to roast evenly at first, and I still haven't quite mastered it. With that said, it still tastes great as a light roast just past 1st crack. Pretty sweet, not too much acidity, very smooth.

Great coffee with lots of chocolate and roasted nut notes. Nice complexity and balanced. This is an Ethiopian for folks who don't like Ethiopian.

I just pulled my first shot from roasting five pounds of this, and it is absolutely freaking delicious. I immediately ordered ten more pounds. I roasted in 1# batches in my Behmor, each roast slightly darker. I started at the end of first crack, and by the last batch I stopped ten seconds into second crack.

I run 1kg batches of this in my 2kg gas roaster. Drop it into a drum at 400 degrees and turno off heat for 1 minute. After one minute I run light heat to get through the drying cycle around the 5 to 5:30 mark before ramping up. Dropped the City Roast when bean temperature was at 420. Great flavor! Blueberry Sweet and cupping notes from Coffee Bean Corral are spot on. Ethiopian Natural is the favorite coffee in my home. Wife and I love it! This is one of the best that we have ever had.

Great coffee and easy to roast. Went to a lighter medium Roast. The aroma of this coffee fills an entire room before its even brewed. Clean tasting with good body. It was a big hit for several military guys, which can be hard to do if the coffee isn't dark, strong, and heavy bodied.

This coffee is great the way I use it. I roast it slowly until it is golden and then grind it for excellent Arabic ground coffee.

"Fruity" is an understatement! It smells fruity before you even roast it. I've never smelled raw coffee that was anything like it. It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I love the blueberry. And the picture doesn't do it justice. Unlike the picture, mine is very uniform, and roasts very uniformly. I blended this half and half with some coffee that was a bit to earthy for me without much fruitiness, and the blueberry still came through strong with the earthiness completely subdued. This is a wonderful morning coffee to perk up your taste buds and nose. Maybe a bit overkill for later in the day unless blended. It's only been a couple of days since it was roasted so maybe it will mellow out some. I'm certainly not worried about losing the blueberry, but maybe some more chocolatey notes will come out. I'll bet you could push this well into the second crack without losing the blueberry. I roasted it much darker than I normally like, almost to second crack, but it didn't matter.

Great heirloom variety that yields the blueberry you long for in an Ethiopian. Aim for a city roast and drop 30 sec into FC 👌
