## What the Brand Says

> This high intervention micro lot is a stunning example of how processing can transform a cup profile. The coffee was co fermented with cuttings of fresh rue, a local herb traditionally used as an aromatic garnish in Ethiopian coffee ceremonies. The carefully controlled process amplifies the coffee's natural sugars and enhances its unique flavors. The cup is sweet, delicate, and floral with a strawberry frosting aroma. Look for notes of juniper berry, fruity bubble gum, Aperol, and rosewater icing.
