How does this bean differ from other Ethiopian coffees you sell?
The Lekempti GR4 beans from the Wellega region have a unique character due to their sun-dried processing, which results in a rich, spicy, and fruity flavour profile with citrus notes. Customers experience the taste as subtly complex, in contrast to, for example, Sidamo or Yirgacheffe beans, which are often more floral and lighter.
Are these decaf beans also suitable for drinking in the evening without sleep problems?
These beans are decaffeinated and therefore have a strongly reduced caffeine content. They are not entirely free of caffeine: for decaffeinated roasted coffee a legal maximum of 0.1 percent caffeine applies, so a small residue remains. Many customers choose this blend when they still want an aromatic cup of coffee in the evening. How you respond to it is personal. For health questions, please consult your doctor.
What makes these Mandheling coffee beans special compared to other unroasted beans?

Are these beans suitable for dark roasting?
Yes, these Guatemala Arabica SHB beans are suitable for both light and dark roasting. Several customers indicate that they roast them dark, which brings out the chocolate-like flavours even more.
