Dembi is located in Sidama, Ethiopia, a region long regarded for producing some of the world’s best coffee. Around 1,200 farmers contribute coffee cherries to these lots. Coffee cherries are handpicked at peak ripeness and delivered fresh to be processed. For natural processing, cherries are floated to remove bad fruit and dried in the shade for around 18 days or until a moisture of 11.2% is reached. The dry cherry is then rested for 4 weeks before hulling and prepared for export. This particular lot is super juicy and creamy and we really got a lot of nice berry notes-particularly blueberry-along with notes of vanilla, peach, grape, Froot Loops, and strawberry. If you are a lover of berry-forward natural process Ethiopia coffees, this lot is for you!
