Bold yet comforting! The Huro Tibiro lot strikes a balance between the tangy brightness of dried cherry and the zest of orange, all wrapped in smooth chocolate reminiscent of Terry’s chocolate orange. The cup then reveals a dense sweetness, similar to dates. A coffee that will excite adventurers and bring comfort to those seeking a cozy cup.
ORIGIN
In the highlands of Huro Tibiro, at the heart of Sidama, about 200 small producers grow organic, sugar-rich coffee cherries on plots of just 1 to 2 hectares. Fertile clay soils, an ideal climate and high altitudes near 2,000 m create the foundation for exceptional coffees.
The cherries are delivered to Solomon Hamiso’s washing station in Kurmane, where they are carefully sorted by density and then hand-sorted on raised beds. Drying takes place slowly under the Ethiopian sun until the perfect humidity level is reached. Thanks to Solomon’s expertise and the dedication of the local farming community, this natural lot showcases the unique character of West Sidama.
BREWING
A joyful filter, a flat white booster and Nektar’s signature espresso! We have a soft spot for Ethiopian naturals as espresso, with their light body, elegant sweetness and bright aromatic clarity that shine in a lively double shot. In filter brews, the cup opens up to a wide range of flavors, whether in a larger batch or a manual pour-over. With milk, it turns smooth and mellow, and the flat white may very well steal your heart.Espresso parameters :
