How do we feel about this coffee

It feels juicy, clean and vibrant like fresh strawberry jam on cinnamon raisin toast, slicing into fresh guava, walking through a field of hibiscus and sipping on a pina colada on a beach lounger.

Coffee Story
Grown in the acclaimed Guji Zone and processed at the Raro Nansebo washing station by "The King of Guji" Ture Waji's Sookoo Coffee, this coffee represents everything we love about naturally processed Ethiopian coffees. The lot comprises local varieties 74110 and 74112 grown at an incredibly high elevation between 2150 and 2350 MASL by 15 local coffee producers who bring their cherry to the local washing station to be processed by Sookoo Coffee. As the owner of Sookoo Coffee, Ture grew up in the region and had strong connections to the land, its community and farmers. Between harvests, Ture and his team educate farmers on good agricultural practices to help improve the quality of their cherries. His company also provides pre-harvest loans to farmers who need them to pay for things like hired labour to do maintenance on the farm, such as weeding and planting.

The flavour is great. But when ground, it produces an extremely fine dust that plugs up everything. Machine or v60.

May be Out of My League

First time I've tried natural process coffee, and that's why I ordered it. The flavour was noticeably different, more fruity and acidic than washed coffee. Not sure if its my "cup of tea". I've been messing around with ways to brew it to my taste and so far cold brew has been best, and moka pot the worst. For some reason it clogs my filters when doing pour over.

Buttery and sweet

This bean is quite tasty, with a fruity and floral sip and a slight buttery-boozy finish. Acid is low, body is full. Extraction seems to take almost twice as long as I’m finding the beans do crumble to excessive fines, though it doesn’t affect flavour or quality
