Espresso Series - Mustefa Abakeno

This single-origin espresso from Guji, Ethiopia highlights the refined elegance of Ethiopian natural processing when treated with a light roast approach. Produced by Mustefa Abakeno, Lot D is selected for its clarity, aromatic complexity, and naturally layered sweetness.

In the cup, the espresso opens with delicate florals and ripe fruit aromatics, followed by notes of dried fruit and honey. The first sip is vibrant yet composed, offering a gentle, wine-like acidity balanced by natural sweetness rather than sharpness. Flavours of dried apricot, raisin, and light berry tones unfold gradually, supported by a soft, tea-like body that keeps the cup lively and clean.

As the espresso cools, sweetness becomes more pronounced, revealing honeyed syrup and light chocolate undertones, while floral notes linger subtly in the finish. Despite the light roast, the cup remains structured and expressive, rewarding precise extraction with clarity and definition.

This coffee is ideal for drinkers who enjoy bright, aromatic espresso with complexity and nuance. Best enjoyed black to fully appreciate its floral lift and fruit character, Mustefa Abakeno – Badeyi Lot D is a showcase of Ethiopian terroir translated thoughtfully into modern light-roast espresso.
