I am thrilled to announce the newest addition to our fleet of coffee brewed by the cup: A fruit-filled dry processed Ethiopia Saris Abaya, roasted by Claudia at CQ Coffee Roasters, a dedicated coffee professional roasting in Bedford, NH.  Here’s the low-down on this tasty cup-

Celestial strawberry notes!!  Saris Abaya is a coffee from one processing station in the Guji zone of the Sidama region. Guji is a cultural area, and formerly recognized as a separate political zone occupied primarily by the Guji Oromo ethnic group. Coffees from these southern areas of Sidama have a unique flavor profile and the slightly drier climate lends itself to natural coffees like this.  This coffee had extra sorting performed on the raised beds to remove unripes, and our buyer bought based on sample selection before export. We paid a large premium over conventional dry-processed coffees from the Guji area for the extra hand labor to prepare this lot.  The cup is very bold and potent, heavily fruited, with healthy doses of chocolate.

Tasting notes:  A dry process coffee with AMAZING strawberry jam notes.  It is like Neapolitan ice cream in a cup.  Very rustic.  Very wonderful.
