Abana Estate in Ethiopia's Gera region produces this naturally processed heirloom coffee, where the extended drying of whole cherries amplifies the fruit-forward character typical of Ethiopian naturals. The result is a floral cup layered with berry sweetness, the natural process drawing out sugary notes that balance the coffee's inherent brightness.

Founded by James Freeman in the early 2000s in Oakland's Temescal District, Blue Bottle began when the former clarinetist started roasting coffee in a 186-square-foot converted potting shed, gradually building a cult following for his meticulously crafted single-origin coffees. In 2017, Nestlé acquired a 68% majority stake in the company in a deal valuing Blue Bottle at over $700 million, though the brand maintains its focus on quality and craft coffee culture.
