Tasting Notes

Dry Aroma

Sweet cherry, raisins, preserved fruits, preserved plums, dried pineapple, strawberries

Wet Aroma

Cherry, cranberry, sweet orange, plum, blueberry, honey peach, lychee

Cupping

The entry is like sweet and juicy honey peach, with sweet pineapple acidity. The mid-section is filled with dense aromas of cranberry, blueberry, strawberry, pineapple, and dried fruit preserves that fill the palate. The aftertaste brings lychee and plum flavors with dried fruit-like viscosity. The entire bean is like a tropical fruit storm attack—elegant yet dominating, falling into an ocean of nectar as its name suggests.

Brew Method

Hand-pour Sidamo. 15g of grounds, medium-fine grind (Fuji ghost tooth burr grinder 3.5), V60 dripper, water temperature 91-93°C. First pour 30g of water for a 27-second bloom, then pour to 105g and pause. Wait until the water level in the coffee bed drops to halfway before continuing the pour. Slowly pour until reaching 225g, avoiding the tail section. Water-to-coffee ratio 1:15, extraction time 2:00.

Regional Background

Shakicho stands unique within Guji, Sidamo, and is also an area distant from most coffee-producing regions in Sidamo province. The local other famous industry is gold mining. Labor, land, and ethnic factors have made this region turbulent. However, the coffee from this area is quite special—Ninety Plus's legendary bean Nekisse also comes from this region.

Nectar, originally meaning the nectar of Shakicho. If you open the Coffee Review website and search with "Guji" as the keyword, there are over ten reviews with scores above 92 points, with several high scores of 94 and 95.

Shakicho, located in Guji, southern Oromia region, borders Sidamo and Gedeo. This area has many mine pits that were originally used for gold mining, so there are many holes in this coffee-growing area. This makes walking between coffee-growing areas dangerous. Shakicho is a unique region within Guji/Sidamo, and even within Sidamo, it's a remote area far from most coffee origins. The local other famous product is gold mining. Miners, land, and ethnic factors also made this region turbulent in 2006. Therefore, the biggest problem this region faces now is the need for manpower to maintain the growing areas and harvest coffee. Local small farmers here began growing organic coffee in 2001 and work closely with medium-sized coffee producers because they know how to grow forest coffee in highlands.
