The Benti Nenka processing plant is located in the village of the same name ("Kebele") in the Humbella Wamena district of Gugi, Ethiopia. We have sold "Benti Nenka" coffee before, but this time the coffee comes from a new supplier. There are several washed coffee processing plants in the area with the same name, which can be confusing! Moreover, they may all be sourcing from the same coffee farmers, meaning that coffee from different plants often has a similar flavor profile. This processing plant sources its coffee beans from about 700 coffee farmers near the village, most of whom have only about 150 coffee trees. The light roast coffee presents a restrained fruity aroma, a clear and transparent sweetness, and earthy notes of tea and fragrant floral aromas. The dry coffee grounds have a sweetness mixed with a hint of fruit juice, followed by the aroma of roasted sugar, and finally a subtle floral note, adding a touch of refinement. The wet coffee has a honey-like sweetness, as well as aromas of sweet tea and jasmine. Upon first sip, the jasmine aroma is particularly prominent, with a long finish. As the coffee cools, fruity notes emerge, such as canned pear and white grape juice, along with a lemony citrus freshness, interspersed with a hint of lemon verbena, adding a captivating fragrance to the coffee. I particularly enjoyed the taste of this light roast coffee after cooling, which also had a hint of barley tea, perfectly blended with the acidity of lime, finishing with a pleasant tannin bitterness. The coffee beans at this roast level had a very transparent sweetness, like syrup, with earthy tea notes in the aftertaste (reminding me of Pu-erh tea and woody mate). I found medium roast coffee beans to be juicy, with fragrant floral notes and a syrupy flavor similar to nut syrup (think of Kerns apricot drinks), along with a hint of bitter cocoa.

本蒂·嫩卡（Benti Nenka）加工廠位於衣索比亞古吉區漢貝拉·瓦梅納地區同名村莊（「Kebele」）。我們之前也曾銷售過「本蒂·嫩卡」咖啡，但這次的咖啡來自新的供應商。該地區有幾家同名的水洗加工廠，容易讓人混淆！而且，它們可能都從同一批咖啡農那裡進貨，這意味著不同加工廠的咖啡風味往往比較接近。這家加工廠從村莊附近的約700位咖啡農那裡收購咖啡豆，其中大多數農戶只有約150棵咖啡樹。淺烘焙咖啡呈現內斂的果香，甜度清澈透明，帶有泥土氣息的茶香和芬芳的花香。乾咖啡粉的甜味中夾雜著一絲果汁的甜香，接著是烤糖的香氣，最後是淡淡的花香，增添了一絲精緻的韻味。濕咖啡的香氣則帶有蜂蜜般的甜香，以及甜茶和茉莉花的香味。入口後，茉莉花的香氣特別突出，餘韻悠長。隨著咖啡冷卻，果香逐漸顯現，例如罐裝梨子和白葡萄汁的味道，以及檸檬般的柑橘清香，其中還夾雜著一絲檸檬馬鞭草的芬芳，為咖啡增添了一抹迷人的香氣。我非常喜歡這種淺烘焙咖啡冷卻後的味道，其中還帶有一絲大麥茶的清香，與青檸的酸味完美融合，最後以令人愉悅的單寧苦味收尾。這種烘焙程度下的咖啡豆甜度非常透明，就像糖漿一樣，回味中還帶有一些泥土氣息的茶香（讓我想起了普洱茶和帶有木質香氣的馬黛茶）。我發現中度烘焙的咖啡豆口感多汁，帶有芬芳的花香，並帶出類似核果蜜（想想Kerns杏子飲料）的糖漿般的風味，還夾雜著一絲苦澀的可可味。
