We’ve known Ashenafi for many years, from when he oversaw Ninety Plus Coffee’s pioneering Ethiopian program. His Ardent Coffee business focuses on a portfolio of micro and nano lot coffees from across the famed coffee regions of Ethiopia, from Sidama to Guji and Yirgacheffe.
Sourced from ripe cherries selected in and around Bensa and Chire villages in the Sidama region. A classic fully washed coffee using their new fermentation tanks and clean spring water which is then sun-dried on raised beds.
Please note we only hold limited stock of these products, but we aim to roast at least two times a week (T&Cs apply)
How to brew
We normally lean toward filter brewing for the producer series as the method highlights the more complex and delicate flavours in lighter roasted coffee. As always, we default to the industry standard of 60g of coffee per litre of water as a starting point.
For espresso try a 1:2.5 brew ratio and shot times of around 24-30 seconds.
Tasting notes
A shaft of dappled golden light shines through a glass of sugary black tea. It is summertime in the lemon grove and the insects hum a lazy melody.
