Ethiopia | Gargari Gutity Natural 2023

Region: Gargari Kebele, Yirgacheffe, Ethiopia
Process: Natural
Variety: Kurume
Elevation: 1,900+ masl
We Taste: Strawberry, Papaya, Elderflower

We're excited to have two Gargari Gutity lots on our menu this year, one washed, and one natural. Having both provides a fun opportunity to taste the way in which the process impacts the flavor of these two, otherwise similar, lots from the same region.  While both coffees are packed with sweet fruit and florals, they're markedly different from one another. The natural Gargari is very tropical and juicy reminding us of strawberry lemonade, papaya, and pineapple, with a silky elderflower floral quality.  

The natural lot is comprised of a single variety, called Kurume, contributed by smallholder farmers around the Gargari Kebele. Primrose Coffee, led by Abreham Mengiste and Meseret Workneh, is the driving force behind both Gargari lots, handling the lot separation and production of each. Both of these coffees jumped off the cupping table when we first tasted them and we've been waiting eagerly to share them with you ever since!
