The 90+ Philosophy

90+ beans take a completely different approach to naming compared to conventional specialty beans—they don't feature region or estate names. Each bean is named according to its flavor profile. For example, Chandel means "best approach" in the local dialect. Starting from a flavor concept, then naming, and finally selecting regions and partner farms, this demonstrates that 90+ is a brand with a boutique operational style.

In Ethiopia, various coffee cultivation methods can be found: from vast wild coffee forests and semi-developed lands to traditionally managed small plots and modern plantations—everything is available. Approximately 50% of coffee is grown at altitudes above 1500 meters. Ethiopian coffee, according to these four different production methods, can be divided into nine major coffee regions nationwide, including five specialty coffee areas: Sidamo, Yirgacheffe, Harrar, Limu, and Lekempti, plus four general commercial bean regions: Djimmah, Illubabor, Tepi, and Bebeka. Each region uses either natural or washed processing methods, and different processing methods affect the flavor. Currently, natural processing accounts for about 80%, while washed processing accounts for about 20%.

Brewing Recommendations

Hand-pour Sidamo: 15g of coffee, medium-fine grind (Fuji Royal 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 drops halfway before continuing the pour, slowly pouring until reaching 225g total. Avoid the tail end. Water-to-coffee ratio 1:15, extraction time 2:00.

The 90+ Legacy

"90+" does not refer to all coffees scoring above 90 points in evaluation. Good coffee appears one year and may not the next. Sometimes it emerges from different estates and possesses various flavor characteristics. "90+" refers to a premium coffee series of 13 flavor profiles. These coffees come exclusively from NinetyPlus Coffee, American specialty coffee creators. They are all Ethiopian heirloom varieties, cultivated to maturity in ecological environments, then processed under artistic standards to achieve flavor optimization. The processing is 90+'s specialty—they separate these coffees by variety, microclimate, and harvest timing, taste each one individually, and deliberately design processing methods for each flavor profile to achieve specific flavor characteristics, much like how major fashion designers meticulously research and devote themselves to creating works of art. Natural products undergo numerous refinements and improvements before reaching their most beautiful form to be presented to everyone.

The ancient natural processing method makes it difficult to achieve clean flavors, but Drima Zede, with 90+ technical support, hand-selects only the most mature coffee cherries. During the natural drying process, careful constant stirring ensures uniformity. The final result is an exceptionally transparent and clean taste, with significant changes between hot and cold temperatures. The fruit, floral, and oak barrel aromas are incredibly captivating!

As an Ethiopian natural-processed bean, Chandel, after undergoing strict supervision and selection, avoids the annoying earthy impurities and high defect rates commonly found in natural beans, instead highlighting the enchanting sweetness for which natural processing is renowned. Chandel's captivating fruity notes inherit the enchanting aroma bestowed by traditional Ethiopian natural processing, expressing without reservation the rounded, full-bodied sweetness with lingering aftertaste and the perfectly balanced mouth-watering fruit acidity. Chandel is also remarkably easy to brew daily—the beans themselves are rich in flavor, and whether using the refreshing drip filter method or the rich siphon brewing, both can beautifully showcase their inherent character.
