Fellow's Take on Hambela EA Decaf by Broadsheet | Brew Recipe

By

Hambela Natural EA Decaf is an Ethiopian coffee from Broadsheet Coffee Roasters, sourced from the village of Boku in Guji, Ethiopia. It’s fruited, sweet, and surprisingly complex, with notes of crème brûlée, apple, and raspberry jam.

EA processing, done in Germany, strips away fewer naturally occurring oils than other decaffeination methods. The result? A maximally bright and fruity cup, minus the caffeine.

🌎 Origin: Guji, Ethiopia

⚗️ Process: Natural / EA Decaf

🔬 Variety: Ethiopian Heirloom

🔥 Roast: Light Medium

NOTE: Broadsheet recommends resting this coffee for 3 days rest and up to 3 weeks for optimum brewing.

Grind Guidance

Start in the middle of your espresso range on your grinder, and Series 1 will tell you to go finer or coarser after your shot pulls. It is expected that you might need to adjust based on your specific variables (i.e. location, climate, water mineral content, etc.). Small adjustments go a long way!
