Tasting Notes
Festive flavors of chestnut, candied citrus and fig cookie with a buttery richness.
Holiday Blend is built around a citrus- and floral-toned washed process coffee produced on Suke Quto, a farm located in the Guji Highlands of Ethiopia. Suke Quto is owned and operated by Ato Tesfaye Bekele, one of the people that helped to put the Guji region on the specialty coffee map. At nearly 550 acres, Suke Quto coffee farm, washing station and dry mill have become a force in the highlands of Guji. Their focus is on the production of environmentally friendly coffee in an economically viable manner that benefits the community, and helps people earn a living income from sustainable coffee production. Suke Quto, and all the coffees in Holiday Blend, are certified organic.
This year’s Holiday Blend features two coffees from Ethiopia, the second one is a natural processed lot from Kayon Mountain Estate, which is also located in the Guji growing region. Natural, or dry processed coffees are not pulped after harvesting, which means the coffee fruit is left to dry on the beans fully intact, resulting in intense fruit-forward flavors. We used a relatively small percentage of Kayon Mountain Natural to ensure that the flavors of the other components were not overpowered, but enough to contribute just the right amount of sweet berry and stone fruit presence.
The final addition to this year’s Holiday Blend is from an all-women farmers cooperative called COMUCAP (AsociaciĂ³n Coordinadora de Mujeres Campesinas de La Paz,) a name that may be familiar to long time drinkers of Equator coffee. The co-op is located in southwestern Honduras, in the Marcala growing region, where the members produce perfectly balanced organic and Fair Trade certified coffee. The milk chocolate, and dried fruit flavors in their coffee knits the blend together, adding sweetness and nuanced layers of complexity.
