walia is a dark-roasted, washed ethiopian coffee from bono coffee roasters. ethiopia is the origin of arabica coffee, and the washed process, where fruit is removed before drying, tends to produce cleaner, more defined cups. at a dark roast, walia leans into earthy, tea-like character, with jasmine and floral notes still present alongside black tea. because it's dark-roasted, it holds up well in espresso or french press, where fuller body suits the profile. if you prefer filter, use slightly cooler water, around 90 to 92 celsius, to avoid amplifying bitterness.
