Here's how we brew this amazing little jammy, a little boozy, very fruity, and very exclusive: Ethiopia Yirgacheffe by Klatch Coffee!
Grown at high altitudes in the iron-rich soils of Ethiopia’s Gedeo Zone, this coffee went through anaerobic natural processing, fermented for 120 hours in an oxygen-free environment then sundried for 15-18 days, bringing out an intense fruitiness.
We tasted strawberry jam, kiwi, rose, white grape, blueberry, honey, and sweet orange liqueur (Grand Marnier, anyone?), along with a punchy body and a sparkling Meyer lemon acidity.
