GUATEMALA LA BENDICION

espresso coffee of the year:

ETHIOPIA BENSA DIIMA Natural

Seeing the La Conchita as a natural (tasting) we had 3 naturals in the top 5! And the BENSA DIIMA by far the most popular coffee. 90+ is proving it value once again. Big body, lots of fruit, controlled acidity and that unmistakable Ethiopian charm we love so much. 

Top 5 FILTER COFFEE OF THE YEAR 2020:

close but no cigar:

COLOMBIA FINCA LA CONCHITA, ETHIOPIA WORKA, KENYA KIANGOMBE AA

5th place:

PAPUA NEW GUINEA BAROIDA ESTATE

shared 2nd place:

ETHIOPIA GEDEB KELLOO, ETHIOPIA BENSA DIIMA Natural, ETHIOPIA CHELCHELE Natural

filter coffee of the year:

KENYA KIAMBU EVANS ESTATE AA

Almost every year we have Kenya occupying the number one spot, but Ethiopia had a very good (although short) season in 2020. 

The Evans estate was a super clean cup, very well balanced coffee and had the best aftertaste ever, cupping a whopping 90 points at its peak.

We are now working hard to get Evans back on board in 2021 - we keep you informed.
