bensa bombe is a washed sidamo from ethiopia, roasted by bluebeard coffee roasters. the washed process strips the cherry cleanly before drying, which tends to sharpen origin character and lift floral notes, and that shows here. expect jasmine and broader floral tones up front, with a winey quality, black tea structure, and brown sugar sweetness rounding out the finish. the tea-like character makes it well suited to filter brewing, where a longer, slower extraction, like pour-over or a light-handed drip, gives the delicate florals room to come through without muddying them.

about bluebeard coffee roasters
the thing about bluebeard coffee roasters on 6th avenue is how they've made tacoma regulars forget that starbucks exists. sure, 1,024 google reviews averaging 4.6 stars tells part of the story. but walk in and you'll understand the real draw. their beans carry that particular weight good roasters achieve, not burnt, not weak, but developed with the patience that comes from actually caring about coffee instead of quarterly profits. the baristas know your order before you finish saying it. not because they're trying to be cute, but because you've been coming here long enough that your morning cortado is just part of the routine. there's something piratical about the name that fits tacoma's port city grit. this isn't precious third-wave posturing. it's honest coffee for people who want their caffeine delivered with competence and maybe a brief conversation about the rain.
