ethiopia coffee
by bono coffee roasters · calgary, canada
you'll taste tropical fruit before jasmine. this is black lion, a natural ethiopia from bono coffee roasters.
black lion has tropical fruit and floral characteristics, with jasmine specifically noted, a profile common to naturally processed ethiopian coffees roasted to a darker level.
the coffee comes from the guji region of ethiopia and is processed using the natural method, meaning the whole cherry dries around the bean before milling.
as a dark roast, black lion works well with methods that suit fuller body and lower acidity, such as french press or filter, using water around 90-93°c to avoid a bitter extraction.
manhattan road southeast isn't where you'd expect to find coffee that makes you pause mid-sip, but bono coffee roasters proves expectations wrong daily. the 4.7-star rating from 225 reviews tells part of the story. the rest unfolds in how they handle beans, with the kind of attention that transforms morning routines into small rituals. regulars don't just come for caffeine. they come because someone here understands that good coffee requires patience, proper temperatures, and zero shortcuts. each cup carries weight, the kind of richness that makes chain coffee taste like brown water afterward. independent roasters like this survive because they remember something simple: coffee should taste like the beans matter, not like it rolled off an assembly line in another province.
