Ethiopia Dumerso

Coffee overview

This Landraces lot was selected by Catalyst Coffee for experimental processing. Extended fermentation was carried out for 72 hours before traditional washed processing. This shows in the cup with heavier, darker fruits, reminiscent of notes found in natural processing. However, this coffee remains starkly clean and floral in the typical washed fashion.
