Manta Ray Coffee RoastersAbout This Coffee
This naturally processed coffee from Ethiopia's Guji region is grown at 1800-2200 meters above sea level. Produced by Gizaw Alemayehu at the Gizaw & Frehiwot Washing Station, the coffee consists of mixed heirloom varieties. Cherries are hand-picked, floated for defects, graded, and placed on raised African drying beds. To protect from excessive sun exposure, cherries are monitored for moisture, turned for even drying, and shaded between 12-3pm. Drying takes 20-30 days until reaching 11.5% moisture content. The cup profile features floral notes, black tea, blueberry, hi-chew stick grape, black plum, blackberry, and dark chocolate characteristics.
