Another Natural

We're not used to finding stellar Ethiopias this late in the year, so when we tasted a recent sample of the Gerbicho Rogicha dry process, we were a bit surprised.

Like the Beloya, these cherries were sorted according to strict ripeness standards and dried carefully on raised beds. This is a very clean lot; almost free of the quakers that plague so many otherwise good natural Ethiopias. The aroma is floral and gently fruity, with citrus dominating the cup, along with cream and a touch of berry.

This has been a fun year, with many exciting coffees, and the new Gerbicho is no exception. Look for this one on the menu shortly.
