black lion is a natural-process ethiopian coffee from the guji region, roasted dark by bono coffee roasters. natural processing means the coffee cherry dries whole around the bean, which draws out the tropical fruit character and floral qualities, including jasmine, that define this cup. the dark roast adds body and depth while keeping those fruity, floral notes present. it suits brewing methods that highlight richness and texture, such as french press or filter, brewed with water just off the boil to avoid over-extraction on the darker roast.
