A Taste of Berlin with The Barn.

This month we are featuring The Barn from Berlin. They have been roasting coffee in Berlin since 2010. The Barn has been leaders in sustainability and have been known to source the highest quality coffees.

 

 

Berlin is a vibrant city known for its rich cultural diversity and progressive spirit, boasting a thriving coffee scene that reflects its creative atmosphere. The city’s history and artistic flair influence our approach to coffee, encouraging us to source unique coffees that tell a story and support local communities. With numerous cafes, roasteries, and coffee events, Berlin fosters a community where innovation and quality coffee go hand in hand, making it a hub for specialty coffee enthusiasts.

I was lucky enough to cup this coffee with Michael Beyne, The Barns North American partner, and this coffee stood out on the table against many coffees from many different roasters. In the cup we found juicy notes of blueberries with a lingering soft note of eucalyptus. The Dambi Uddo is an exceptional coffee from the Guji Highlands in Ethiopia, known for producing some of the finest coffees in the region. Situated at a high elevation of 2145m, the estate offers complex flavor profiles, and we are proud to present the entire harvest from our exclusive plot, Gatame. Their naturally processed lot showcases intense flavors of blueberry, bergamot, and black tea, with notes of strawberry and tropical fruits emerging as it cools. The rich and velvety texture makes it a truly delightful experience.
