ethiopia coffee
by bad coffee · london, uk
you'll taste lemon before blueberry. this is speedway • ethiopia chelbesa • single origin, a natural ethiopia from bad coffee.
expect blueberry and stone fruit upfront, with lemon acidity and a floral, jasmine quality that runs through the cup. the natural process gives it a fruit-driven sweetness that is more pronounced than you would find in a washed ethiopian coffee.
the coffee comes from chelbesa, a producing area within yirgacheffe in ethiopia. it is naturally processed, meaning the whole coffee cherry is dried intact, which concentrates the fruit sugars in the final cup.
a filter or pour-over method suits this coffee well, as it preserves the bright lemon acidity and the floral, fruity notes without over-extracting them. avoid very high brew temperatures, which can flatten the jasmine and citrus character.
