Dari - Filter Coffee from Ethiopia

Unfortunately, this coffee is sold out, but it is planned to return to us with the next harvest.

"Yes, that's how Ethiopian naturals tasted ten years ago," you hear at the tasting. And indeed: the Dari brings the "classic" blueberry notes from the Guji zone, complemented by flavors of nectarine and black tea. The coffee is extremely complex, long-lasting and delicate. A highlight for the cold season.

Tell me more about Dari

We purchased this coffee through Falcon Coffee, who work with Bashura Abiyot, the founder of Buno General Trading. Buno invests heavily in the community, pays premiums for high quality, and provides interest-free financing for the farmers' harvests. Dari is the name of the washing station where the producers deliver their coffee cherries. The coffee is then either pulped or processed as a dry coffee.

Why does this coffee taste the way it does?

In Ethiopia, we find the highest diversity of coffee varieties. In recent years they have been catalogued, but there are still varieties whose origin cannot be determined. What they have in common is that they likely bring the most complex flavors. The dry post-harvest process gives the already complex coffee a bit more weight, and the roasting adds a slightly caramel sweetness.

Why did we buy this coffee?

This year we searched longer until we found an Ethiopian natural that we could identify with. In the third round of a tasting session, the Dari stood out—on one hand, it brought a smile to our faces because of the "classic" blueberry notes, and on the other hand, it was as delicate and long-lasting aromatic as few coffees this season.

How do we roast this coffee?

We roast the coffee as a 12.5kg batch in a 30kg Giesen roaster for 9 minutes with a development time of 60 seconds. We start the roast with 60% energy and gradually reduce the gas after four minutes. After the first crack, we reduce the energy input to a minimum and the coffee finishes itself.
