Origin: Ethiopia Region: Adilo 1, Murago Village, Bensa, Sidama Processing station: Tuke Adilo 2 Mini Station Varietal: 74158 Processing: Natural Elevation: 2350-2500 masl Profile: mango, bright funk, green grape Price per lb (shipping + greens): $10.45 About the coffee: Ripe coffee cherries are carefully dried on raised African beds for approximately 27 days. During this time, the cherries are turned hourly to promote even drying and shaded during peak sunlight hours to preserve quality. Once optimal moisture levels of 10–11% are reached, the coffee is sealed in GrainPro to lock in aroma, then rested in jute bags for at least 45 days before dry milling. Roaster's notes: A fun interpretation of a natural coffee from Ethiopia. It doesn't skew too heavy on the funk, and has a bright orange hue expression of fruit. Let this coffee rest. It shines after 6+ weeks. This coffee is so good. If you like traditional, fruity coffees, this is 15/10.  Brewing Notes: V60 Water temp: 90-93C+ Brew recipe: 0. 18g grounds a tad coarser 1. 60mL bloom (for 40 seconds) 2. 60mL second bloom (until water drains) 3. pour to 300mL -- apply light swirls if grounds are sticking to brewer sides Push. Rest notes: I'd rest it 6 weeks+. Or even more. Today is 03/22, and I've been drinking a 02/07 roast, and my god it's good. The orange hues are super pronounced, but the finish is clean purple fruit acidity. I hate to say it (since there are more $$ coffees), but I wake up excited to drink this coffee.
