Bombe Abore Station, Ethiopia

Managed and owned by Asefa Dukamo Korma, Bombe Abore Washing Station is located in the Bona Zuria District in the Sidama Region. The station sits at an elevation of 1,920-2,020masl and services roughly 1,022 farmers in the area.

The station processes both Natural and Washed lots, and this particular lot was separated for natural processing. Made up of primarily Ethiopian varietal's 74110 and 74112, this natural lot's cherry was immediately placed on long raised drying beds. A weather dependent process, drying can take 16-25 days, with cherries constantly being turned and moved for an even fermentation. 

We love how this lot is showing, reminding us of the what made us fall in love with natural coffees from Ethiopia. The florals on the aroma are just popping with fresh spring flowers and sweet earl grey, ripe citrus, fuzzy peach, and sun-warmed field berries.

This coffee will make a bright sweet filter, or a nice poppy fruit forward espresso! We recommend standard 16-17:1 parameters for filter, and a 1:2.1 for a standard espresso, coarsen up your grind a bit as naturals from Ethiopia are dense and tend to brew slower than other coffees!
