Wow! Fruit-forward coffee lovers, just go ahead and add this one to the cart. We cannot tell you how many people who have stopped by the shop bought this coffee, without hesitation, based on the dry-aroma alone.
In the cup, we are blown away by the balance and just overall delicious nature of this coffee. It's one that is hard to put down and before you know it, the cup is empty and you're wishing for one last sip! It's been fantastic in all brewing methods, especially those who pursue that perfect cup in manual brewing methods.
We taste a medley of dried fruit, especially orange and nectarine, rounded out with the perfect amount of sweetness and acidity, finishing with sweet chocolate croissant as it cools down. Truly a pleasure to have this coffee in the lineup.
Here are some words from the importer:

The natural lots are handpicked at peak ripeness and then immediately spread across African drying beds to dry for approximately 19 to 25 days. This natural lot is unique because it comes from a group of farmers who grow a variety locally known as “Kurume”, a super tiny bean comparable to the size of beans from the mocca variety!
