It is always a treat to receive shipments of fresh Ethiopia naturals this early in the year. We were looking for an African coffee to fill a slot in our menu, and this Kembatu stood out on the cupping table with its clean and fruity profile. Kembata comes from small farms located in the Durame Village of Kembata, Ethiopia, at 2100 meters above sea level, where the soil is extremely fertile and ideal for growing high-quality coffee beans. Sun-dried naturals typically spend 15-21 days drying on raised beds. The resulting coffee is a fruity and decadent cup marked with notes of blueberry, cherry, lemon, and milk chocolate.
