The cherries here ripen somewhere between \u003cstrong\u003e1,900 and 2,300 metres\u003c\/strong\u003e, and that matters: cool, thin highland air slows ripening right down, which gives a cherry time to build deeper sweetness and acidity before it is picked. Chire also has its own accent within greater Sidama. Where neighbouring Bensa leans strawberry-tropical and Aroresa runs toward jasmine and black tea, Chire reads nutty, dried-fruit and almost wine-like.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is behind it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lot carries the name \u003cstrong\u003eKenean\u003c\/strong\u003e, for Kenean (Assefa) Dukamo, second-generation Deputy CEO of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.dayebensacoffee.com\/aboutus\"\u003eDaye Bensa Coffee Export\u003c\/a\u003e, a family-owned Sidama exporter that sources from thousands of smallholders and sun-dries its naturals on raised beds across the Bensa, Aroresa and Chire districts. Kenean Dukamo placed second in the 2022 Ethiopia Cup of Excellence, so the hands drying this coffee know exactly what they are doing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it is processed\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a \u003cstrong\u003enatural\u003c\/strong\u003e, or dry-processed, coffee, which simply means the whole cherry is dried intact in the sun rather than having its fruit stripped off first. As it dries, the fruit's sugars work their way into the bean, and that slow soak is where all the ripe, jammy fruit in the cup comes from. It is graded \u003cstrong\u003eG1\u003c\/strong\u003e, the top grade for the cleanest, least-defective Ethiopian beans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIn the cup\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe aroma opens on \u003cstrong\u003eorange peel\u003c\/strong\u003e, then the taste arrives tropical and fruit-forward: \u003cstrong\u003epineapple\u003c\/strong\u003e first, juicy and bright, with \u003cstrong\u003eorange\u003c\/strong\u003e right on its heels. Underneath sits a deeper, heavier sweetness of \u003cstrong\u003edried mango and caramel\u003c\/strong\u003e, the sort of dark-sugar note a Malaysian palate might file somewhere near gula melaka. It is a natural that is all about ripe fruit and body, which is exactly what Chire and a careful sun-drying tend to give.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrder a bag online and brew it as a pour-over, that bright pineapple really opens up when you give it room to breathe.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Linking","offers":[{"title":"200g","offer_id":47683777527986,"sku":"ESCKNG-26-01-200G","price":63.0,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg","offer_id":47683777560754,"sku":"ESCKNG-26-01-1KG","price":254.0,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0510\/5831\/1346\/files\/ESCKNG-26-01_cover.png?v=1783304965","url":"https:\/\/thecrackpots.com\/products\/ethiopia-sidama-chire-kenean-natural-g1","provider":"The Crackpots Coffee Roaster","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
