A silky and fruity explosion of flavors – Berry Blues from DAK Roasters is a coffee that will captivate you from the very first sip! This select coffee from the Guji region of Ethiopia offers notes of blueberries, purple grapes, myrtle liqueur, and delicate cashew butter, complemented by a sweetness reminiscent of grape soda. Thanks to its light filter roast, it is both juicy and velvety, appealing to lovers of fruity, modern profiles with a distinctive complexity. If you are looking for a coffee that is playful, tropical and yet clean, Berry Blues is the obvious choice.
The coffee comes from the hands of producer Esayas Beriso, who grows native Heirloom varieties in the high-altitude region of Guji. This region is renowned for its diverse biodiversity and rich soil, which supports the development of distinctly aromatic coffees. Thanks to shade-grown cultivation, the cherries ripen more slowly, which is reflected in their intense sweetness and depth of flavor. Esayas Beriso is one of the farmers who is not afraid to experiment with modern processing methods, which is why his coffees are among the most sought-after in Guji.
The processing method is shade-dried anaerobic natural – the coffee cherries are dried in the shade and fermented in a closed environment, which gives the cup a silky texture, fullness, and complex fruity notes. This process emphasizes the sweetness while preserving the purity typical of Ethiopian coffees. The result is a coffee that combines the best of traditional Ethiopian profiles with a modern approach to processing.
