This month's theme

• This month, we’re excited to share our first releases from Ethiopia, both from SNAP Coffee’s Buku Hambela station in Guji.
• Since the relaxing of government regulations in 2017, Ethiopian coffee has been allowed to flourish, creating many new flavour profiles.

COFFEES

• This month’s coffees express two different aspects of the Ethiopian flavour profile, a ripe and floral natural, and a wild and fruit driven Anaerobic.
• Well-processed naturals, like this one from Buku Hambela, showcase ripe stone fruit, while maintaining the florals we so value in Ethiopian coffee.
• Anaerobic processing is still a rather new development in Ethiopia, and here we find a juicy profile reminiscent of red apple with a wild candied sweetness.

What did you miss?

Last month’s coffees were excellent examples of crisp and clean profiles, but produced in rather different environments.

In Colombia, Educardo Flores produces a typical washed Colombian style, using careful picking, sorting and fermentation to create clean and crisp lots. This kind of profile is not normally associated with Brazil, but in southern Minas Gerais, Fabiano Diniz is trying to change this. The region of Matas de Minas region sits on the border to the mountainous state of Espírito Santo, near the Caparáo National Park. The high altitude here, along with the Diniz family’s meticulous approach, leads to a profile reminiscent of what we’d expect in Colombia, but produced under rather different conditions.
