Conceived by us as a special roast for unprecedented times, this is a premium single-origin Ethiopian naturally processed coffee (West Arsi Natural). The Natural drying process -- where the coffee cherries, with the coffee beans inside them, are dried on special drying beds in the sun immediately after they are picked in Ethiopia – differs greatly from the much more popular and less labor-intensive water - washed process. The result of the natural drying process is a coffee with a sweet, fruit-forward aroma and fragrance, like blueberries or cherries. It’s all natural — no artificial flavors. I roast it light, so it’s sweet and a bit bright. It’s not a coffee that’s for everyone, but it is unique and wonderful for people who prefer light and somewhat acidic, bright coffee. This coffee is the most expensive selection we offer, mostly due to the significantly higher cost of the natural drying process in Ethiopia:
