Datura Coffee - Bombe Ayla 74110 / 74158 - Ethiopia - Natural

Tasting notes: Pink guava, blueberry, mango, apricot

Bombe Ayla is a naturally processed Ethiopian coffee from smallholder farms around Bombe in Bensa, Sidama. The farms reach approximately 2,000 metres, with coffee cultivated beneath native shade trees alongside food crops. Their cherries are processed at Ayla washing station, established in 2018 by Testi Specialty Coffee and supplied by hundreds of local growers.

This lot combines the JARC selections 74110 and 74158. Ripe cherries are handpicked and carefully sorted at the station before drying whole on raised beds. During the 15-to-20-day drying period, the fruit is regularly turned and hand-sorted to promote even drying and remove defects. Bombe and neighbouring Shantawene deliveries are processed separately for traceability.

Datura’s tasting notes are pink guava, blueberry, mango and apricot. The fruit-focused profile offers a tropical and berry-led expression of Sidama, with the natural process central to the coffee’s identity. It provides a useful contrast to the washed Chelbesa Danche and Hadeso selections, while retaining a clear connection to the growers, station and varieties behind the cup.
