The 90+ Philosophy

90+ beans adopt a completely different naming approach compared to conventional specialty beans, lacking region and estate names. Each coffee is named according to its flavor profile. For example, "Zhù Máng" (烛芒) means "best approach" in the local dialect. Starting from a flavor concept, then naming, followed by region and cooperative farm selection, it's evident that 90+ is a brand with boutique management style.

Ethiopia offers various coffee cultivation methods: from vast wild coffee forests and semi-developed lands, to traditionally managed small plots, to modern plantations. Approximately 50% of coffee is grown at altitudes above 1,500 meters. Based on these four different production methods, Ethiopia can be divided into nine major coffee regions, including five specialty coffee zones: Sidamo, Yirgacheffe, Harar, Limu, and Lekempti, as well as four commercial coffee regions: Djimah, Illubabor, Tepi, and Bebeka. Each region employs either natural or washed processing methods, with different processing affecting flavor profiles. Currently, natural processing accounts for about 80%, while washed processing represents about 20%.

Brewing Recommendations

Hand-pour Sidamo: Use 15g of coffee, ground to medium-fine consistency (Fuji Rexus grinder setting 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 drops to halfway, then continue pouring slowly until reaching 225g. Discard the tail end. Water-to-coffee ratio of 1:15, total extraction time 2:00.

Understanding the 90+ Series

"Ninety Plus" doesn't refer to all coffees scoring above 90 points in evaluations. Good coffee varies year by year. Sometimes it appears in different estates with various flavor characteristics. "Ninety Plus" refers to a series of 13 premium coffee varieties. These coffees come exclusively from Ninety Plus Coffee, American specialty coffee creators. All are heirloom varieties from Ethiopia, matured in ecological environments, and processed under artistic standards for flavor optimization. The processing is Ninety Plus's specialty – they separate these coffees by variety, microclimate, and harvest timing, tasting each individually and designing specific processing methods for each flavor profile, like major fashion designers' meticulous approach, dedicating heart and soul to create near-artistic craftsmanship. Natural products undergo extensive refinement and improvement before presenting their most beautiful form to everyone.

Quality and Processing Excellence

The ancient natural processing method rarely achieves pure flavor profiles, but Drima Zede, with 90+ technical support, uses only hand-selected fully ripe coffee cherries. The natural drying process involves careful, constant stirring to ensure uniformity. The final result is exceptionally transparent and clean in flavor, with significant changes between hot and cold temperatures. The fruit, floral, and oak barrel aromas are truly captivating!

As Ethiopian natural-processed coffees, Zhù Máng undergoes strict supervision and selection, avoiding the unpleasant earthy flavors and high defect rates common in typical natural coffees. Instead, it highlights the captivating sweetness that natural processing is renowned for. Zhù Máng's enchanting fruity character inherits the charming aromas of traditional Ethiopian natural processing, expressing round, full-bodied sweetness with lingering aftertaste and perfectly balanced, mouth-watering fruit acidity. Zhù Máng is also quite approachable for daily brewing. The beans themselves are rich in flavor, whether prepared with clean pour-over methods or rich Italian-style brewing, they can beautifully express their inherent characteristics.
