Remarkably remarkable.
Bochessa Natural is the kind of coffee that refuses to pick a side—it brings the sparkle of a washed coffee with the wild fruit character of a natural. From the first sip, bright citrus acidity bursts onto the scene, unmistakably Sidama and especially characteristic of Northern Sidama. Grown at 2,000+ meters, this coffee gets its electric acidity from the high-elevation terroir around Bochessa. Underneath all that brightness is a seriously juicy fruit profile that keeps the cup lively and layered. Warm vanilla adds a round, silky sweetness, while ripe tangerine brings a zippy citrus kick. Deep red plum rounds everything out with a rich, almost candy-like fruitiness. As the cup cools, the interplay between citrus, vanilla, and plum makes each sip feel a little different. Bochessa Natural is a bright, fruit-forward Ethiopian with enough clarity to please washed-coffee fans and enough personality to win over natural lovers.
