Honey, JARC 74158, Lightest Roaster Influence - Best for Filter. Excellent pourover or batch option

Another banger year for Ethiopia we reckon, made even better by faster shipments and earlier arrivals. Our first mainline release sees the return of the honey lot from Gatta, which we thought was excellent last year and excellent once again this year.

We’re tasting:

Super bright citrus aromatics that remind us of twisting the oils from an orange rind. In the cup, mandarin sweetness and acidity, the floral sweetness of muscat grape, ripe apricot, fig leaf, honeysuckle & peach. Very sweet with a zesty brightness

Process:

Honey:

Ripe cherries picked and delivered to Gatta. Cherries floated to remove underripes and debris before pulping via an Ecopulper, with zero mucilage removal. The sticky, fruit-sugar covered parchment is then transferred to the drying beds, where some surface level wild yeast fermentation continues until the seeds are dried.

Daye Bensa's careful drying ensures that the parchment is covered during peak mid-day sun and moved fully under shade if the daytime temperature is too hot, which ensures the coffee has a stable shelf life and quality is locked in . Drying takes an average of 2-3 weeks, with defects removed by hand during this period.
