ethiopia coffee
by alquimista coffee lab · mairena del aljarafe, spain
you'll taste jasmine before floral. this is etiopía dara woreda 1kg, a natural ethiopia from alquimista coffee lab.
the coffee carries jasmine and floral aromatics alongside milk chocolate and dark chocolate, giving it a profile that balances delicate fragrance with a fuller, sweeter body. the natural process reinforces that sweetness and rounds out the chocolate tones.
it comes from the dara woreda area in ethiopia's sidamo region and is processed using the natural method, where whole cherries are dried intact before the bean is extracted. this technique is common in ethiopia and contributes directly to the coffee's floral and chocolate character.
filter methods such as pour-over work well with this coffee, as they let the jasmine and floral notes come through cleanly without overpowering the chocolate base. use water around 90-93°c and a medium-coarse grind as a starting point, adjusting to taste.
