Nah. I just scored a great Ethiopian gesha and Ill be preoccupied with it for the next few weeks.

First time using Naturally processed beans and going over my weekly budget for coffee. I got some Fulasha Gesha from a city coffee/cafe shop who I understand roast small batches of this stuff mostly for their regulars. I used my C40/Red clix+ Flair Pro setup to make a couple long blacks and lattes over the week.

Honestly, I didnt realise how much I was missing out by only going washed until today. The flavours were very funky which I neither liked or hate. It was different. But the subtle fruity undertones I usually get from washed Ethiopians just got amplified by 3 times . The coffees fruity flavours tasted like a basket Apricot and Fig were left on the forest floor and some vanilla too. I felt pretty floored that coffee can taste like this, although stone fruit coffee arent my thing.

The closest experience Ive had to something redefining a certain food was when I tasted artesian sourdough for the first time after living off the supermarket stuff.

But unfortunately, I dont think I can have naturals every day. The stuff is just too overwhelming for my palette.

First time trying a bean thats naturally processed(Ethiopian Gesha) and over my typical budget. The coffee tasted of fig, vanilla and apricot, not my thing. But there was this undercurrent of funk that permeated every sip. Didnt hate it or like it, but it was different. The usual subtle fruity flavours was far more intense too. The stony fruits tasted like they were dropped on a forest floor for a few days. Felt like I drank something totally different compared to the typical washed Ethiopian.

The only experience thats comparable was probably the first time I tried a local bakers sourdough bread after years on the supermarket stuff.

Its like I discovered coffee again. But I dont think Ill be having naturals everyday. They feel pretty overwhelming for my palette. Sometimes I just wanna taste the coffee.
