Profile
The Cup: This coffee is one of the most unique and most thrilling coffees we have ever seen. It could fit the mold of an exceptional washed Ethiopian coffee but it is a little bigger, a little bolder, a little less subtle. And this is the reason why this coffee is a Finalist in the 2018 Good Food Awards.
Cup profile: abundant stone fruit, citrus, and berry fruits layered with plenty of inherent honey sweetness and that slightly floral and slightly savory

United StatesI like slightly acidic coffee. To make some coffees more to my taste, I add a little Sidamo Natural to achieve the desired effect. I just tried Ethiopia Gedeb Gotiti. This coffee was just right. Very rich and satisfying. Thank you for suggesting it. Now I can add it to the rotation of excellent coffee you offer.
United StatesSimply put, this is my favorite coffee. Finding anyone that still sells coffee from the area around Gedeb is a chore at this point, since its northern neighbor, Yirgacheffe gets so much attention. Anyone buying this can expect clarity, but with enough body to feel almost like juice. This is a remarkably focused cup and an absolute joy every time. For me, this is the superior washed Ethiopian.
United StatesReally delicious cup of coffee. More depth of flavor than my normal specialty blend. Nice to taste a coffee from a specific area kind of like wine.
