Organic Ethiopian Bishan Fugu Hambela Grade 1 Natural Special Prep Arabica raw coffee beans
Bright sweet acidity, smooth juicy body, blueberry, floral, spice, very sweet, blackberry, raspberry, , complex, sweet clean finish.
Bishan Fugu Natural is very clean for an Ethiopia Natural which is thanks to Hambela's meticulous processing. The finish is notable for it's lack of the Bourbon like finish that is common with many Ethiopian Naturals.
Roasting Note: This Lot seems to be sensitive to over roasting and / or baking. I have had to back off the heat and reduce roasting times to achieve the superior cup this coffee is capable of. I recomend this coffee only to those who have the experience and ability to roast it properly.
Bishan Fugu is a neighboring farm owned and managed by the Hambela Farm with the meticulous Natural processing performed at the Hambela Farm. As we have come to expect from Michael and Aman Adinew Owners / Growers at Hambela farm METAD the quality and taste are exceptional.

Independent Blind (they only knew it was Ethiopia) Review by Our Customer Mary:
"I just tried the Ethiopia sample that you sent - WOW!!!! It is fabelous...taste like a natural process.... lovely strawberries, raspberries, ripe blueberries, spice, and a floral quality that balances out the fruit. Reminds me of a bit of a Ethiopia Natural Aricha ...but more floral and spice.
I hope that you are already or planning to sell this. Please let me know :)
Mary
P.S. Forgot to add that the Ethiopia sample you sent had the most blueberries (flavor-wise) than most Ethiopias that I have tasted. It has been something like 6 years since I tasted an Ethiopian that had that deep profound blueberry note...like before the Ethiopia coffee market changed their auction system"
