When sipped, these aromas evolve into notes of blackcurrant, semi-sweet chocolate, black tea, and an enduring marzipan flavor. The fruity tones present a dried blueberry acidity, while the chocolate note provides sweetness. The uplifting finish features notes of plum, fresh ginger, and spicy nutmeg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e: Basha Bekele\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFarm\u003c\/strong\u003e: 126 Smallholders\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bensa, Sidama\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAltitude\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2,350 masl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVarietal\u003c\/strong\u003e: 74158\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProcess\u003c\/strong\u003e: Natural\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRoast\u003c\/strong\u003e: Light\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes\u003c\/strong\u003e: Blackcurrant, Nutmeg, Semi-Sweet Chocolate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Story\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImported by our friends at Crop to Cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Basha’s father was once a manager for a co-op in Bombe that supplied coffee to the Sidama Union. Before the government made it possible for smallholders to obtain export licenses, both he and his father sold their cherry to the cooperative. Basha now has his own export license and grows coffee (primarily 74158, known locally as 'Walega') in semi-forested plots on 12 hectares. He also operates collection sites in Bombe, Shantawane, and Kokose, where he collects cherry from producers growing coffee as high as 2,350 masl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"While cherry prices were high this year, Basha maintained a practice we don't see everywhere: delivering a second payment to the 126 producers he bought cherry from once the coffee sold. Like most smallholders around Bensa, Basha exclusively produces dry processes—which includes experiments with anaerobic styles of fermentation—and floats cherries to remove defects before drying his coffee slowly on raised beds.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PT's Coffee","offers":[{"title":"10oz \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":48126630953192,"sku":"19713WB","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10oz \/ Espresso","offer_id":48126630985960,"sku":"19713ES","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10oz \/ Fine","offer_id":48126631018728,"sku":"19713FI","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10oz \/ Auto-Drip","offer_id":48126631051496,"sku":"19713AU","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10oz \/ Coarse","offer_id":48126631084264,"sku":"19713CO","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2lb \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":48126631117032,"sku":"39713WB","price":40.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2lb \/ Espresso","offer_id":48126631149800,"sku":"39713ES","price":40.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2lb \/ Fine","offer_id":48126631182568,"sku":"39713FI","price":40.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2lb \/ Auto-Drip","offer_id":48126631215336,"sku":"39713AU","price":40.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2lb \/ Coarse","offer_id":48126631248104,"sku":"39713CO","price":40.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5lb \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":48126631280872,"sku":"59713WB","price":95.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5lb \/ Espresso","offer_id":48126631313640,"sku":"59713ES","price":95.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5lb \/ Fine","offer_id":48126631346408,"sku":"59713FI","price":95.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5lb \/ Auto-Drip","offer_id":48126631379176,"sku":"59713AU","price":95.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5lb \/ Coarse","offer_id":48126631411944,"sku":"59713CO","price":95.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1575\/7309\/files\/BashaBekeleatdryingbed.jpg?v=1773428937","url":"https:\/\/wholesale.ptscoffee.com\/products\/ethiopia-basha-bekele-murago-natural","provider":"PT's Coffee Wholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
