INTRO
Ethiopian Naturals are some of SL.OW's favourite coffees in the world. They offer a more tea-like texture than most — something light and delicate that rewards patience. They tasted this one and it felt like little delights. It reminded them of heading to a French bakery on a Sunday morning. Hence the name.
Petit Délice is a coffee everyone will enjoy. From Guji's G1 washing stations, this Bourbon natural delivers Ferrero Rocher richness, the buttery warmth of an almond croissant, and a bright, clean orange zest finish. Petite in name only.
THE PRODUCER
Guji is one of Ethiopia's most celebrated coffee zones, producing some of the country's most complex and expressive natural-process lots. The G1 grading — the highest in Ethiopia's export classification system — signals exceptional cup quality, achieved through rigorous cherry selection and careful drying. Various smallholder producers contribute to this lot, with their cherries aggregated and processed at the Gogaga station.
Ethiopia is the birthplace of coffee, and its indigenous Bourbon varieties from the Guji highlands carry a richness and depth that is difficult to replicate anywhere else in the world. The combination of altitude, heirloom genetics, and skilled natural processing is what makes Petit Délice sing.
THE PROCESS
The Natural process at G1 Guji Gogaga involves:
- 🍒 Selective Harvest — Only fully ripe red and purple cherries hand-picked by smallholder contributors
- ✅ Cherry Sorting — Cherries sorted and graded to G1 standard before drying
- ☀️ Raised-Bed Drying — Whole cherries dried on elevated African beds in open air
- 📅 Extended Slow Drying — Coffee rests for several weeks, concentrating fruit sugars and developing complexity
- 🔧 Dry Milling — Dried cherry skin and pulp removed at mill once optimal moisture is reached
The natural process allows the fruit's aromatics and sugars to fully permeate the bean during drying — producing the confectionery richness and tea-like delicacy that defines Petit Délice.
THE CUP
An utterly delightful cup — rich, aromatic, and elegant all at once. Ferrero Rocher gives hazelnut-chocolate depth, almond croissant adds a buttery warmth and gentle nuttiness, and orange zest brings a clean citrus brightness that lifts everything. Tea-like body, patience rewarded. A coffee for slow mornings and Sunday bakeries.
