What Novelty Coffee says about this coffee

Natural Process Local Landraces produced in Ethiopia by Smallholders.

Vivid and expressive, with sweet jasmine aromatics leading into ripe strawberry, bright bergamot, and juicy tropical fruit. A vibrant and fruit-forward cup with lively acidity, a silky body, and a clean, lingering sweetness.

This natural lot is composed of cherries delivered by smallholder farmers in the Aricha Wubanchi area of Yirgacheffe. Grown at elevations reaching up to 2,100–2,200 meters, the high altitude and careful cultivation contribute to its intensity, aromatic complexity, and clarity of flavor.

Produced from local landraces, this coffee showcases the remarkable genetic diversity of Ethiopia’s native coffee varieties, resulting in a complex and distinctive cup profile unique to the region.

Cherries are selectively handpicked during peak harvest, then dried whole on raised beds under careful supervision. This natural processing method enhances the coffee’s sweetness and fruit character while preserving the delicate floral and citrus qualities of jasmine and bergamot in the final cup.
