The Old Barracks describe this coffee as fruity, chocolate, floral. The filled shape is how often roasters use each family across coffee from Ethiopia; the rings on the rim are this coffee’s own.

Every family the roaster names is a common one for coffee from Ethiopia, so this reads as a typical example rather than an outlier.

We report what the roaster publishes and we have not checked any of it independently. A fact nobody publishes is not a fault of the coffee: almost no roaster in the UK states an importer or the price paid to the producer.

Where each fact came from

Acidity, described

“It features a rich Cocoa base flawlessly balanced by crisp Green Apple notes, striking Bright Acidity, elegant Floral aromatics, and sweet Hints of Cherries Flavour Notes: Cocoa, Green Apple, Hints of Cherries, Floral, Bright Acidity Processing: Natural Farm Height: MASL.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Altitude, lowest

“Sourced from the lush, fertile highlands of the Sidama region in the Great Rift Valley, this coffee is grown by local smallholders at high altitudes ranging between 1,500 and 2,200 MASL.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Variety

“In these high-elevation "coffee gardens," indigenous heirloom landraces ripen slowly under optimal canopy shade and rich soil, developing intensely concentrated sugars This lot is meticulously handpicked and undergoes a traditional Natural Process, where the cherries are sun-dried whole on elevated African drying beds.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)
