Ethiopia Nafkot Admasu (Natural)

12oz Cherry pie filling, bergamot, plum wine Region: Yirgacheffe, Gedeo, Gedicho Producer: Nafkot Admasu Coop: Admasu farm Varietal: Indigenous landraces and heirloom cultivars Process: Natural Nafkot Admasu, at 38 years old, is considered very young in Ethiopia, where the average age of a coffee farmer is still somewhere in the 60s. She is a mother of 3 and the owner of a 2-hectare farm—miniscule by global standards but well above average for her part of Ethiopia.   This is only Nafkot’s 3rd harvest but the coffee is ready to stand alone. Her coffee this year is a super crisp, punchy and bright natural with a syrupy sweetness evocative of cherry pie filling, and soft but brisk aromatics of pink peppercorn and citrus peel.   It’s incredible to have a 2-hectare farm microlot from anywhere on Earth, and we shouldn’t let ourselves take this for granted just because Ethiopia produces so many great naturals. Nafkot’s coffee, given her size, is extremely unlikely to ever make it to market on
