Kiffa - BELE - (Ethiopia)

☕ Tasting Notes

According to one listing:

• Origin: Ethiopia (Bele region)

• Process: Natural processed. 

• Note descriptors: Sweet, blueberry, grapes, plum. 

So overall: expect a fruity-forward natural Ethiopian coffee, leaning into berry and stone-fruit flavours, with sweetness and perhaps a wine-like character.

✅ Brewing / Enjoying Tips

• Because it's a natural‐processed bean with fruity notes, lighter roast/medium roast and filter methods (V60, Kalita, Chemex) will help highlight the fruitiness and clarity.

• For espresso, you should still get fruit character, but might need to adjust your extraction to avoid overly sour or under-extracted flavours.

• Use fresh grind, correct temperature (around 90-96 °C) and ensure your beans are fresh (within say 2–4 weeks of roasting, ideally) so you get the full flavour.

• Because it’s sweet and berry-driven, you may prefer drinking it black or with minimal milk so the nuance isn’t masked.
