Coffee Details

The Ninety Plus Philosophy

Ninety Plus coffee beans adopt a completely different naming approach compared to conventional specialty beans. They don't feature region or estate names; instead, each variety is named according to its flavor profile. For example, "Drima Zede" means "best approach" in the local dialect. Starting from a flavor concept, then naming, followed by selection of regions and partner farms, this demonstrates that Ninety Plus is a brand with boutique management style.

Ethiopia's Coffee Heritage

In Ethiopia, you can find various coffee cultivation methods: from vast wild coffee forests and semi-developed lands to traditional small plots and modern plantations. Approximately 50% of coffee is grown at elevations above 1,500 meters. Ethiopian coffee can be divided into nine major coffee regions based on these four different production methods, including five specialty coffee zones: Sidamo, Yirgacheffe, Harar, Limu, and Lekempti, plus four commercial coffee regions: Jimma, 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%.

The Ninety Plus Standard

"Ninety Plus" doesn't refer to all coffees scoring above 90 points. Good coffee varies year to year. Sometimes it appears in different estates with various flavor characteristics. "Ninety Plus" refers to a series of 13 top-tier coffee flavors. These coffees come exclusively from Ninety Plus Coffee, American specialty coffee creators. All are Ethiopian heirloom varieties, cultivated in ecological environments and processed to artistic standards with flavor optimization. The processing is Ninety Plus's specialty - they separate these coffees by variety, microclimate, and harvest timing, tasting each one individually, designing specific processing methods for each flavor profile to achieve a distinctive taste characteristic. Like designs from luxury brands, they dedicate themselves with heart and soul to complete a craft that approaches art. Natural products undergo numerous refinements and improvements before reaching their most beautiful form to be presented to everyone.

Exceptional Processing Excellence

The ancient natural processing method makes it difficult to achieve pure flavors, but Drima Zede, with Ninety Plus technical support, uses only hand-selected fully ripe coffee cherries. The natural drying process involves meticulous constant stirring to ensure uniformity. The final result is an exceptionally transparent and clean taste that varies dramatically between hot and cold, with fascinating fruit, floral, and oak barrel aromas!

Brewing Experience

As another Ethiopian natural process coffee, Drima Zede, after undergoing strict supervision and selection, avoids the annoying earthy impurities and high defect rates common in natural beans. Instead, it highlights the captivating sweetness that natural processing is renowned for. Drima Zede's enchanting fruit profile inherits the fascinating aromas bestowed by traditional Ethiopian natural processing, unreservedly expressing a round, full-bodied sweetness with a lingering aftertaste and just the right amount of mouth-watering fruit acidity. Drima Zede is also quite easy to brew daily. The beans themselves are rich in flavor, whether using clean pour-over methods or rich siphon brewing, both can excellently showcase their inherent character.
