Tasting notes: Hibiscus, Peach, Watermelon, Honey
Mate Matiwos, also known as Mate Mateyos, produces this Red Honey microlot in the Keramo area of Ethiopia. Swift Coffee Sourcing’s relationship with the producer extends back to the 2016–2017 harvest, developing from station deliveries toward increasingly separate farm lots. The existing lot information records a second-place result in the 2024 Ethiopian Cup of Excellence.
Preparation begins with hand sorting and flotation to select uniformly ripe, dense cherries. A further selection takes place before a manually operated disc pulper removes the skin while leaving substantial mucilage on the parchment. Careful calibration helps protect both the parchment and the seed during this labour-intensive stage.
After pulping and a short fermentation phase, the mucilage-coated coffee moves to shaded drying beds with good airflow. Drying under a canopy extends the process compared with direct sun, while regular turning and covering help the parchment dry evenly.
The result is the recorded Red Honey expression of the 74158 selection, grown at approximately 2,100 metres. Hatch’s tasting notes combine hibiscus, peach, watermelon and honey, with filter brewing recommended for this 200g release.
