shantawene is a natural-process ethiopian coffee from the sidamo region, roasted by bard coffee. natural processing means the coffee cherries dry with the fruit intact, which draws out the berry-forward sweetness this coffee is known for. expect blueberry up front, backed by milk chocolate and dark chocolate, with an earthy undertone that keeps things grounded. because the fruit-forward flavors can be delicate, a pour-over or similar filter method tends to let the blueberry and chocolate notes come through cleanly. keep water around 200°f and avoid over-extraction to preserve the sweetness.

common questions

What does SHANTAWENE taste like?

shantawene leads with blueberry sweetness, followed by milk chocolate and dark chocolate, and finishes with an earthy quality that adds depth to the cup.

How is SHANTAWENE grown and processed?

shantawene comes from the sidamo region of ethiopia and is processed naturally, meaning the whole coffee cherry dries around the bean, concentrating fruit sugars and contributing to its pronounced berry and chocolate character.

How should I brew SHANTAWENE?

a filter brew method such as pour-over suits this coffee well, as it highlights the blueberry and chocolate notes without muddying the natural-process sweetness.

about bard coffee

portland's coffee scene runs deeper than the tourist maps suggest. you'll find the real action scattered through neighborhoods where locals actually live and work. bard coffee sits on middle street like it's been part of the landscape for decades, though the steady stream of people walking in with their own mugs suggests something more recent. this isn't a place trying to impress anyone with flashy setups or complicated menu boards. the coffee speaks first. regulars here have strong opinions about what constitutes good coffee, and they keep coming back for reasons that have nothing to do with convenience or location. some mornings the line stretches past the door, but nobody seems particularly bothered by the wait. the beans rotate seasonally, the brewing stays consistent, and the whole operation feels like it knows exactly what it's doing. middle street gets busy around lunch, but the afternoon pour-overs hit different when the neighborhood settles into its quieter rhythm.
