But West Arsi, and Bulga Lemi specifically, has been quietly producing lots that rival both, without the name recognition to match. Grown between 1,900\u20132,300 masl on volcanic soil, the altitude alone forces a slower cherry ripening, which is where a lot of this coffee&#8217;s natural sweetness comes from before it ever touches a processing tank.<br \/>This lot comes from Mokanisa Bulga farm, a single, traceable source rather than a regional blend \u2014 something increasingly rare as Ethiopian volumes get consolidated at export.    <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Super Natural&#8221; is a step beyond traditional dry (natural) processing. Instead of drying the whole cherry straight after picking, it undergoes a controlled anaerobic fermentation first \u2014 sealed, oxygen-free, temperature-monitored \u2014 before moving to full sun-drying with the fruit still intact. That extra fermentation stage is what pushes the sugar development further than a standard natural process, which is exactly why this cup reads more complex and layered than a typical dry-processed Ethiopian.    <\/p>\n<h3>What You&#8217;ll Actually Taste<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n<p>Apricot hits first \u2014 bright, not overly sweet. It settles into ripe strawberry through the middle of the cup, then closes on a honey-like finish that gives the body a smooth, almost silky texture through the last sip. This is a Heirloom varietal lot, scored 87.25 by SCA standards \u2014 solidly in specialty-grade territory, and notably high for a region this under-the-radar.    <\/p>\n<h3>Why Medium Roast<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n<p>We roasted this one to protect the fruit-forward complexity the fermentation built \u2014 pushing the roast any darker would flatten exactly what makes this lot worth trying in the first place.  <\/p>\n<p>Best brewed as filter\/V60 \u2014 a method that gives the apricot and strawberry notes room to unfold in layers rather than blur together. <\/p>\n<h3>Ethiopia Bullet Bulga \u2014 Coffee Details:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Origin: <strong>Ethiopia<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Region: <strong>Bulga Lemi, West Arsi, Oromia<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Farm: <strong>Mokanisa Bulga<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Variety: <strong>Heirloom<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Process:<strong> Super Natural (anaerobic fermentation + full sun-dried)<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Altitude:<strong> 1,900 \u2013 2,300 masl<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Score: <strong>87.25<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ethiopia Bulga Super Natural Most Ethiopian specialty coffee conversations start and end with Yirgacheffe or Guji \u2014 for good reason, they&#8217;re the benchmark.
