– BEKELE BELACHEW – Origin: Sidama, Ethiopia Producer: Bekele Belachew Processing: Natural Tasting Notes: Strawberry, Hibiscus, Melon, Honey For many of us who work in specialty coffee, Ethiopian naturals were our gateway drug, honestly ask anyone. The best examples are so intensely fruity and complex (kinda like koolaid😉) that after tasting your first, it's hard to think of coffee as just coffee anymore. Although we roast naturals from all over the globe, this one is extra extraaaa special! There’s just something so lovely about how fruit-forward processing methods combine with floral Ethiopian heirloom coffee varieties. Coming from a small farm in the Sidama region of Ethiopia, Bekele Belachew is brand spanking new to our lineup, and he produced our first Ethiopia natural of 2022! We're tasting strawberry, hibiscus florality, melon, and sweet honey in this bean juice and it’s available right now both in shop and online! 🤝 Whether you’re new to natural coffees or a tried and true lover, go ahead and get yourself a bag – you won’t regret this one! 💖
