The Coffee Collective brings you RESHAD coffee, which impresses with its sweetness and smoothness. This naturally processed lot comes from the Jimma region of Ethiopia, where coffee with a rich flavor profile matures at an altitude of 1,900-2,100 meters above sea level. The aroma of dried apple, subtle floral notes of bergamot and the creamy sweetness of milk chocolate dominate the cup . The espresso is balanced, with a smooth body and a delicate aftertaste that will delight any lover of sweet and fruity coffees. This coffee represents a unique take on the tradition of Ethiopian coffees in a modern setting.
Behind this exclusive lot is Reshad Abuls, a young producer who took over the family farm four years ago. Thanks to his passion and innovative approach, he has managed to increase the quality of the harvest and expand production in collaboration with six neighbouring farmers. Jimma, where the farm is located, is known for its hilly terrain and ideal climatic conditions that favour the slow ripening of the coffee cherries and increase their sweetness. Reshad focuses on natural growing methods that respect the soil and surrounding ecosystem, and his coffee has quickly gained admiration for its clean and distinct flavor profile.
This lot has been processed using a natural method that highlights its sweet and fruity notes. After hand-picking, the carefully selected cherries are dried on raised African beds for several weeks, during which time they are rotated regularly to ensure even drying. This process allows the coffee beans to soak up maximum fruit sweetness from the pulp, resulting in a full and juicy flavour profile. The result is an espresso with a smooth texture, pleasant dried apple acidity and a lingering chocolate aftertaste. Reshad Espresso is a great choice for those looking for a harmonious, sweet and balanced coffee with the story of a young, ambitious farmer.
