This is the Ethiopia Guji Uraga Demicha Natural ($10.50) from Slow Koi, featuring a pour over prepared using the Ethiopia Guji Uraga Demicha Natural beans from Hytte Roastery. The beans are noted for rose, blueberry, and chocolate characteristics.
The beverage presented in a wine glass with a translucent brown-red hue and high clarity. Aroma opened with floral sweetness supported by soft berry-like fruit notes and light roast aromatics.
Initial contact delivered a smooth, clean mouthfeel with restrained roast character and delicate floral notes immediately apparent across the palate. Through the mid-palate, the floral profile developed further alongside mild fruity acidity and rounded berry sweetness. The fruit character remained integrated and restrained rather than overtly jam-like or fermented. Acidity entered softly rather than sharply, contributing brightness without disrupting the overall balance. Texture stayed consistently smooth and fluid through the body, while the lighter roast profile allowed the sweeter aromatic characteristics of the coffee to remain clearly defined. Towards the finish, the floral and berry notes gradually receded while the underlying roast profile became more apparent, resolving into a soft fruity chocolate character. Aftertaste remained notably clean and smooth, without significant bitterness, dryness, or lingering astringency.
Overall, a pour over coffee with a layered flavour trajectory and highly cohesive texture integration, resulting in a clean and delicately structured expression of floral fruit-forward Ethiopian coffee.
