Space Cowboy - Ethiopia
We taste notes of peach cobbler, rosé wine, and sweet florals
Space Cowboy is a rotating seasonal microlot that we're particularly excited about. Something surprising. Something different. Something eye-opening. Basically the David Bowie of coffees.
Right now it's a natural process Ethiopian Yirgacheffe from Mrs. Tigest Wako, a member of the Cafe Imports/Lulo Small Farmers Project, which helps ensure transparency and allows producers more control over pricing and contracts. Mrs. Tigest's farm is planted with heirloom Ethiopian varieties. During harvest season, ripe cherries are carefully hand picked, sorted, and then placed on raised beds where they are turned and dried in the sun. This style of processing (called “natural”) generally yields a complex and choco-fruity cup. We love it when we find naturals like this one - sweet, balanced, and not overly zingy.
