Ethiopia Sidama Honey

This is an uncommon HONEY processed Ethiopian coffee from the Sidama region, grown and processed by the Qunqana farm. They are sorted until they have achieved Grade 1 status. The result of all this care is that you have a flawlessly clean tasting coffee with sweet fruity tastes and aroma. The fruit isn't intense, but white peach, pear, and strawberry flavors in here are very pleasant and a healthy effervescent dose of acidity makes it stand out. 

Roast this like you would a natural process Ethiopia. Honeys are always a little bit tricky but anything you can do to give it gradual heat and lots of airflow will make it happier. Give it just a few seconds out of 1st cracks, it reads about 400 degrees on our roasters. Each roast has a tendency to taste just a little bit different which makes it fun and tricky to keep consistent. Being a honey processed coffee, you shouldn't take this coffee anywhere close to the 2nd cracks. If you want to drink it as espresso you can get it about 5 extra degrees without burning it.
