The Coffee Collective roastery presents RESHAD coffee, which captivates with its sweetness and smoothness. This naturally processed lot comes from the Jimma region of Ethiopia, where coffee with a rich flavor profile ripens at an elevation of 1 ,900–2,000 meters above sea level. The cup is dominated by the aroma of dried apple, subtle floral notes of bergamot, and the creamy sweetness of milk chocolate. The coffee is well-balanced, with a smooth body and a delicate aftertaste that will delight any lover of sweet and fruity coffees. This coffee offers a unique take on the tradition of Ethiopian coffees with a modern twist.
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 improve the quality of the harvest and expand production in collaboration with six neighboring farmers. Jimma, where the farm is located, is known for its hilly terrain and ideal climatic conditions, which promote the slow ripening of coffee cherries and enhance their sweetness. Reshad focuses on natural farming methods that respect both the soil and the surrounding ecosystem, and his coffee has quickly gained admiration for its clean and distinctive flavor profile.
This lot was processed using the natural method, which highlights its sweet and fruity notes. After being hand-picked, the carefully selected cherries are dried on raised African beds for several weeks, during which they are regularly turned to ensure even drying. This process allows the coffee beans to absorb the maximum amount of fruity sweetness from the pulp, resulting in a full-bodied and juicy flavor profile. The result is a coffee with a smooth texture, a pleasant acidity reminiscent of dried apples, and a long-lasting chocolate aftertaste. Reshad is an excellent choice for those seeking a harmonious, sweet, and balanced coffee that tells the story of a young, ambitious farmer.
