ethiopia coffee
by alquimista coffee lab · mairena del aljarafe, spain
you'll taste jasmine before floral. this is etiopía dara woreda 250g, a natural ethiopia from alquimista coffee lab.
this coffee leads with jasmine and broad floral notes, backed by milk chocolate and dark chocolate. the natural process gives it a sweet, full character rather than a bright, acidic one.
it is grown in the dara woreda area of the sidamo region in ethiopia and processed using the natural method, meaning whole coffee cherries are dried before the fruit is removed.
filter methods or french press work well here, using water slightly off the boil, around 90-92°c, to preserve the jasmine aromatics and let the chocolate notes come through without bitterness.
