Mengeshe Gumi - Brew Chart & Impressions
The traditional, OG method (natural) from the birthplace of coffee (Ethiopia) delivers once again a delicious result.
This coffee is full of red currant note, so much so that, for a brief moment, it can make those brews feel like a washed coffee.
The florals are beautiful, think blossoming fruit trees. We personally had a lot of orange and cherry blossom in the aroma.
Stone fruits come up often in Ethiopian coffee, and the sweetness is delicate like vanilla and light honey.
