This coffee, part of a project that began during the 2023-2024 harvest, supports production by individual farmers, highlighting Ayele’s commitment to quality and sustainability.
The coffee undergoes a meticulous natural processing process, where selectively harvested, uniformly ripe red beans are dried to enhance their natural sweetness and complexity. This method brings out intense notes of red fruit, sweet berry caramel, orange and rooibos tea, complemented by floral and herbal notes. The result is an easy-drinking coffee with a cupping score of 86, which embodies the unique terroir of Yirgacheffe.
