Bona Zuria - Ethiopia Anaerobic Filter Coffee
Summary
An anaerobically fermented natural coffee from the Bona Zuria district in the Sidama region of Ethiopia.

This light roast offers intense sweetness with notes of ripe pineapple, passion fruit, mango, strawberry and rose blossom, a soft medium body and well-balanced acidity. Cupping score 87.5.
