This year, we were on the hunt for Ethiopian natural processed coffees that we really loved; since some of our previous purchases from Ethiopia were currently unavailable in Aus. We tasted a tonne of different lots and this natural from Asrat Bube stood out from the field. The coffee has incredible quantities of all of the aspects we love most in Yirgacheffe coffees; lots of chocolate and berry character. We also find that this lot in particular has a definite stone fruit character in it's after taste, giving a layer of complexity that puts it above the rest.

Asrat is part of the highly successful and well regarded Jabanto group of coffee producers. Formed in 2018 with the express goal of getting coffees like this into consuming countries, we're certainly happy to be on the receiving end of their hard work.
