China

This is a truly exotic coffee, even for fans of natural processing. It’s a standout example of bold anaerobic fermentation. Expect a highly rated, deeply complex cup with notes of fruit, booze, spice, oak, nut, and cocoa. It shines best at a light to medium roast, offering a sweet edge, fuller body, and a creamy mouthfeel. Unlike most naturals, the acidity is relatively low. Strong natural process coffees can be a surprise to the palate, but if you love discovering bold, layered profiles, this one’s a must-try.
