Why some details are blank

altitude mThe source publishes a 1,900–2,050 metre range rather than one representative elevation, so no scalar altitude was stored.
harvestThe current roaster page does not publish a harvest date or crop year.
drying durationThe roaster says the coffee was dried slowly on raised African beds but does not publish the duration.

From the producer

The coffee is sourced from the Bitta farm in the Kaffa region of Ethiopia.

From the roaster

Golden Hour comes from Bitta Farm in Ethiopia's forested Kaffa region, an area deeply connected to the origins and extraordinary diversity of Arabica coffee. Bitta Farm spans approximately 445 hectares at elevations of 1,900-2,050 metres, overseen by farm owner and manager Asmamaw Wodemariam. Roasted for espresso.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

Kaffa is the Ethiopian zone where Coffea arabica was first described - wild coffee still grows in its forests. Golden Hour comes from Bitta Farm: about 445 hectares of mountainous forest-grown coffee at 1,900-2,050 masl under owner-manager Asmamaw Wodemariam. 49th's espresso roast turns coffee's birthplace into a daily drinker.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

Ripe cherry selected

Ripe cherries were selectively harvested at Bitta Farm.

Pulped and fermented

The cherries were pulped and fermented for 24–48 hours.

Washed

The fermented parchment was washed with clean water.

Raised-bed drying

The coffee was slowly dried on raised African beds.

What was added?

Nothing added is documented.

What wasn't added?

The roaster does not report added fruit, spices, flavorings, or inoculated cultures.

Why it matters

This traditional washed process removes fruit before drying, supporting the clean, structured presentation intended for espresso.

What you might taste

Hazelnut, milk chocolate, and pear are the roaster’s current tasting descriptors, not ingredients.
