Context
This natural-processed Heirloom from Ethiopia's Sidama region showcases the fruit-forward character typical of naturally processed coffees. Grown at 1700–2000 masl by producer Mokonissa, the lot expresses ripe strawberry and rich cacao with warm baking spice notes. Natural processing tends to amplify fruit expression, and this coffee demonstrates that tendency through its prominent berry character balanced by deeper chocolate and spice dimensions.
Press Coffee Roasters has highlighted the interplay of sweet fruit, cocoa richness, and warming spices—a profile that reflects both the terroir of the region and the fermentation-enhanced complexity natural processing imparts. This offers an accessible entry point to Ethiopian heirloom varietals for those seeking bright fruit without sacrificing body.
