Sky Roasted ‘Ethiopia Natural Kembata G1’ (GP)(12oz)

🌿 Sky Roasted – Ethiopia Natural Kembata G1 (GP)
Bright, fruit-forward, and beautifully complex, Sky Roasted’s Ethiopia Kembata G1 hails from the high elevations of Durame Village, nestled in the heart of Ethiopia’s Kembata region. Grown at 2,050 to 2,100 meters, this Grade 1 heirloom variety showcases the power of terroir: rich volcanic soil, cool mountain air, and traditional natural processing that bring out the best in every bean.

This lot is naturally processed and dried on raised beds over 16–17 days, after a 36–48 hour fermentation period. The result is a radiant cup profile that’s clean, juicy, and vibrantly aromatic.

☕ Tasting Notes

• Flavor: Blueberry, Dark Chocolate, Meyer Lemon

• Acidity: Bright & balanced

• Body: Medium-light with a silky finish

• Sweetness: Fruity and clean

Expect an expressive burst of blueberry and Meyer lemon in the first sip, grounded by dark chocolate undertones and lifted by floral brightness. This coffee is layered and lively—perfect for drinkers who enjoy complexity and clarity in every cup.

📍 Origin Story
Durame Village lies in one of Ethiopia’s highest coffee-producing zones, where heirloom coffee trees thrive in naturally fertile soil. Here, smallholder farmers handpick ripe cherries and bring them to local wet mills, where fermentation and sun-drying are handled with careful precision. The natural (unwashed) process imparts deep sweetness and fruit character, while raised-bed drying ensures airflow and consistency across every batch.

The unique microclimate of Kembata—cool nights, warm days, and steady mountain mist—slows cherry maturation, developing dense, flavor-rich beans that embody Ethiopia’s legendary coffee heritage.

🔥 Roasting Notes
We roast Ethiopia Kembata to a Light City Roast to preserve the fruit and citrus clarity while drawing out the chocolate base. This roast level highlights the balance between brightness and sweetness without overwhelming the cup with roast character.

💧 Brewing Suggestions

• Pour-over (V60, Chemex): Emphasizes fruit, florals, and clarity

• Espresso: A bright, clean shot with lemon-cocoa structure

• Cold Brew: Crisp and refreshing with blueberry brightness
