christmas blend from bono coffee roasters is a dark-roasted ethiopian coffee processed using the washed method, which strips the fruit before drying and tends to produce cleaner, more defined cup clarity. despite the dark roast, it holds onto floral and jasmine character alongside a winey quality that points to ethiopia's naturally aromatic bean genetics. it's a fuller-bodied, lower-acidity option that suits espresso or french press well. if you're grinding for espresso, pull slightly shorter to avoid bitterness. for french press, use a four-minute steep at around 93c to let the floral notes come through without turning the winey quality harsh.

common questions

What does Christmas Blend taste like?

christmas blend has winey, floral, and jasmine tasting notes, a combination that comes from ethiopian coffee genetics and is refined here by a washed process and dark roast.

How is Christmas Blend grown and processed?

it's sourced from ethiopia and uses a washed process, meaning the coffee cherry skin and fruit are removed before the beans are dried, which keeps the cup clean and lets the floral character stay distinct.

How should I brew Christmas Blend?

as a dark roast, it works well with espresso or french press, both of which suit its fuller body, keep extraction temperatures moderate, around 90 to 93c, to avoid amplifying bitterness from the darker roast.

about bono coffee roasters

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.
