  • Fragrance of strawberry followed by dark chocolate. Flavors of mixed red fruits with an aftertaste of honey, dark chocolate and orange. Medium citric acidity, creamy mouthfeel and medium body.
  • This coffee is all about the fruit, chocolate and body. We recommend roasting close to medium (about 80 to 85 Agtron) for a “big” and heavy fruit-forward cup profile.


The blend from the Sewda site consists of 85% well-ripe, 10% reddish-ripe and 5% over-ripe cherries. The improved natural processing that is done here is unique in that cherries are soaked in fresh water for 12 hours before laying out to dry. This soaking enables floaters to be removed and “helps to initiate the sugar reaction inside the cherry” resulting in a honey-like sweetness

After the soaking process, cherries are laid on raised beds with a thickness of 5cm where they are monitored and turned frequently each day. The raised beds are strategically located in an area that receives little sunlight and high winds which blow through and create an even drying that takes only around 15 days to complete.

This one Impressed me!!!

Like many Ethiopians this bean is "Fruit Forward" but is not overbearing. I roasted this to a Medium level (433° and a 16% loss) and it came out great. I tried it on the 4th day as a pour over. I was very surprised. It had a creaminess that is normally found in a darker roast then also had the fruitiness of the Ethiopian. The chocolate was in the background but present.

I bought the 2Kg to try out the beans and then, after tasting, I immediately came back and got 20Kg. I am going to try a bit darker for espresso and also anxious to try as "Cold Brew".

Hey Tim, thanks for your detailed and thoughtful review! We're thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed this Ethiopian coffee and the unique balance of creaminess, fruitiness, and chocolate it delivered in your roast. Your medium roast profile sounds spot-on, and we're excited to hear how your experiments with a darker roast and cold brew turn out.

Thank you for your trust and support!
