Fruit-forward notes of grapefruit and peach, with undertones of nutmeg. Lingering hints of jasmine or lavender. Creamy texture and gentle acidity.
In the home of coffee in Africa; Ethiopia, our Sidama Bensa grows at altitudes of 1,950 – 2,150m. The slow maturation produces beans with high density and complexity of flavour.
The Ayla Washing station, where these beans are processed using the natural method, sources coffee cherries from 375 to 725 smallhold farmers. Natural processing involves drying the cherries in the sun with the mucilage fully intact, and turning the beans regularly to ensure an even result. This can take up to 18 days, until the optimal moisture content of 10 – 11% is achieved.
Drying the cherries in this way contributes to the rich complexity of flavour.
They are well-suited to both espresso and filter brewing, but our preference for this bean is the pour-over.
