Drima Zede: A Surprising Ethiopian Natural Coffee

Drma Zede is one of my most surprising coffees, so good that it subverts my imagination of natural African coffees. The moment it enters your mouth, the slightly acidic taste is smooth, and the fruity aroma fills your mouth—truly amazing! About 5 minutes later, as the coffee cools slightly, the acidity becomes more pronounced with rich layers of flavor! The temperature of the coffee actually creates such a significant change in taste and flavor!

The Name Behind the Coffee

This is a very interesting name—Drma Zede, which in Mao Zhu's eyes carries a classical Eastern charm, is actually a transliteration. Its original name—"Drima Zede"—means "Best Approach" in the local dialect, not as subtle as the Chinese name suggests.

Origin and Growing Conditions

As an Ethiopian heirloom variety, this Drma Zede is produced in the Sidamo region at an altitude of 1750-2000 meters. The soft, fertile soil, suitable temperature, humidity, rainfall, and rainy periods all combine to become indispensable factors for achieving Drma Zede's superior quality.

Exceptional Quality for a Natural Process

As a natural-processed Sidamo, Drma Zede can achieve purity nearly matching that of washed coffees, which is truly surprising!

Generally, natural processing can better highlight the bean's inherent sweetness but lacks the clean brightness that washed processing offers. Many people even feel that natural-processed beans always have some strange flavors. But Drma Zede is very special and will definitely refresh people's inherent impressions of natural processing.

Drma Zede not only avoids the traditional defects of natural processing but actually makes people think of the various advantages of washed processing. Besides the excellent quality of the beans themselves, this is also due to proper post-processing.

Without a doubt, green bean processing is indeed 90+'s specialty. Mao Zhu doesn't know what secret recipes they have. We only know that 90+ categorizes coffee with sufficient detail and tirelessly experiments, designing specialized processing methods for each flavor profile. After countless refinements and improvements, only when the optimal state is achieved do they present the results to people.

But the cleanliness of this natural coffee comes not only from excellent green bean processing but also from meticulous attention during the roasting process. Constant temperature and humidity warehouses, professional and hygienic environments, top-grade roasters, and experienced roasters give us the confidence to guarantee their stability and the flavor expression that excellent green beans deserve through only a small amount of post-roast bean sorting.

Therefore, when FrontStreet Coffee roasts this bean, the key consideration is how to better preserve and present its original high-quality flavors. The scientific, rigorous, and strictly controlled roasting process ultimately allows it to inherit the charming aroma characteristic of Ethiopian beans, while preserving the full-bodied flavor and highlighting the lingering sweetness.

Flavor Profile and Brewing Recommendations

Strong fruity notes—berries, yellow peaches, pineapple—combined with the wine-like aroma from natural fermentation, like a cup of gold rum fallen into a fruit basket, making one unable to resist indulging.

After trying various brewing methods, we found that whether as SOE, pour-over, or cold brew, this bean can perfectly express its ultimate flavors.

Drma Zede Coffee Bean Brand Recommendations

FrontStreet Coffee's roasted 90+ Drma Zede coffee beans offer full guarantees in both brand and quality. More importantly, they offer excellent value—a half-pound (227g) bag costs only 90 yuan. Calculating at 15g per cup of single-origin coffee, one bag can make 15 cups, with each cup costing only about 6 yuan. Compared to coffee shop prices that often reach tens of yuan per cup, this represents exceptional value.
