Ethiopia Kercha

This is a stellar natural process coffee, grown by smallholder farmers in Ethiopia’s acclaimed Guji Zone. Cat & Cloud’s blueberry tasting note is right on the money. We also tasted sugar, black tea, slight florals, a sparkling grapefruit acidity, and a tea-like body.

\r\n Food & Wine Magazine named Cat & Cloud the “Best Coffee Roaster in California” and their work goes beyond the phenomenal coffees they roast. The Capitola-based roasters interrogate the structure of the industry on their podcast and are transparent about every level of the business, from sourcing to barista pay.

Bloom: Aggressively pour 45 - 55g, swirl twice, and let saturate for 45 seconds

Pulse Pours: After the bloom, add remaining water in two slow pours, allowing enough time between pours for the water to drain just above the coffee bed

Total Brew Time: 3 - 3:30 minutes

Notes: Your grind setting should be set so total brew time is between 3 - 3:30 minutes.

Grind coarser to speed up, finer to slow down.
