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

At night, to prevent sudden rainfall, thick plastic covers are used for wrapping. This allows the red cherries to ferment and dehydrate at relatively low temperatures. After 18 days of natural processing, when the moisture content of the green coffee beans drops to around 13%, the natural processing is stopped. The beans are packed in jute bags and stored in warehouses under natural conditions of 12-22°C and 40-50% humidity for about 50 days of bean resting and further dehydration. When the moisture content reaches around 10%, they are transported to the processing plant for hulling, screening, and sale.

Hambella (generally translated as "Hambella") is located in Ethiopia's largest coffee producing region, Guji, and administratively belongs to the Oromia region. Hambella's western side faces Yirgacheffe's Kochore across mountains, with a 3200m high, 30km wide plateau separating the two producing regions. It borders Guji's Shakiso, Uraga, and Kercha sub-regions to the southeast, north, and south respectively, making it Ethiopia's highest altitude coffee sub-region (Harrar is Ethiopia's highest altitude main producing region).

Currently, there are about 20 processing plants of various scales in the Hambella region. DW Company's Hambella core region Dimtu has four estate processing plants: "Buku Abel," "Buku Saysay," "Haro Soresa," and "Tirtiro Goye," with an annual coffee production of about 1100 tons.

Among all these estates and processing stations, only the natural processed coffee from the "Buku Abel" estate and processing plant is called "Queen."

The Queen processing plant is located in Buku Abel village at an altitude of 2200 meters. From the beginning of its cultivation, it was chosen for its noble "family environment" - rich humus reddish-brown soil, and given shade protection from "Enset" trees, allowing Queen coffee to receive sufficient sunlight and develop rich flavors without consuming excessive nutrients, thereby preserving more essence within the coffee cherries. During the harvest and processing season (December-January), its unique growing environment and natural climate create Queen's distinctive flavors. We only begin natural processing when the sugar content of harvested red cherries reaches above 30. During the first two days of natural processing, we ensure the red cherries' humidity to allow their fruit sugars to fully begin fermentation. Meanwhile, the high-altitude location allows the processing plant's nighttime temperatures to drop to around 12°C, preventing over-fermentation odors due to high temperatures. When temperatures are higher at noon, we promptly provide shade to prevent sun damage to the red cherries. We select only fully red, completely mature coffee cherries, all hand-picked, dried on African raised beds, with limited fruit layer thickness and continuous 24-hour timed turning to ensure even natural drying and ventilation, more accurately controlling the fermentation degree.
