Communities commonly group their coffee together and this coffee represents the Shantawene, Bombe, and Keramo communities who deliver their crop to the Bombe wet mill. At dizzying heights of up to 2250 metres above sea level the coffee here grows slowly, fixing sugar in the fruit. At the Bombe mill this potential is cared for by making sure the drying fruit never gets too hot. By using cooler shaded drying beds than the more common open beds, and turning the coffee regularly over nearly four weeks, the result is a delicious fruit forward representation of what makes Ethiopian coffee unique.
Blueberry is a classic flavour descriptor of natural processed Ethiopian coffee and Bombe has it in bundles. This blueberry works deliciously with further vibrant fruit flavours of raspberry and nectarine along with hints of cacao nib. Florals of violet and elderflower add nuance, while a bergamot citrus acidity holds everything harmoniously together. As the coffee cools in the cup the sweetness builds and supports a dense syrup like texture to the mouthfeel.
We've roasted this coffee light with filter, French press or aeropress brewing in mind and recommend enjoying this coffee without milk. Here the vibrance and complexity of the fruit like flavours are most prominent. The blueberry is ever present and filter brewing helps bring out the higher more floral and bergamot like notes. Moving to aeropress and French press the luxurious cacao nib finish adds a dessert like quality to the cup.
