FROM THE ROASTER

2400+ IS NOT JUST AN ALTITUDE. FOR THE TREES GROWING HERE IT MEANS A WIDER SWING BETWEEN DAY AND NIGHT, A LONGER GROWTH CYCLE AND MORE SUGAR IN THE CHERRY. THIS WASHED HEIRLOOM COMES FROM KEBEDE, WHO FARMS ABOUT TWO HECTARES UNDER SHADE IN HIGH GUJI; THE COFFEE IS KNOWN LOCALLY AS HIGHBORN FOR ITS ALTITUDE AND QUALITY. RIPE CHERRIES ARE HAND-HARVESTED, FLOATED AND SORTED, FERMENTED FOR 72 HOURS, WASHED, AND DRIED SLOWLY ON RAISED BEDS FOR 10 TO 14 DAYS. MAGNOLIA ON THE NOSE, BRIGHT LEMON AND PEACH IN THE CUP.
