Manta Ray Coffee RoastersAbout This Coffee
This naturally processed Ethiopian coffee is from the Guji region at 1800-2200 meters above sea level. Produced by Gizaw Alemayehu at the Gizaw & Frehiwot Washing Station, the coffee features mixed heirloom varietals. The cherries are hand-picked, floated for defects, graded, and dried on raised African beds for 20-30 days, with shading between 12-3pm to protect from excessive sun exposure. Drying is complete at 11.5% moisture content. The cup profile includes floral notes, black tea, blueberry, grape, black plums, blackberries, and dark chocolate, offering a sweet and complex character. This is an espresso roast.
