ethiopia coffee
by bono coffee roasters · calgary, canada
you'll taste jasmine before floral. this is walia medium, a washed ethiopia from bono coffee roasters.
walia medium has jasmine and broader floral aromatics alongside black tea and a tea-like character, with a mild earthiness underneath. it is a lighter, more delicate cup rather than a bold or fruity one.
it is grown in ethiopia and uses a washed process, meaning the coffee cherry is removed before the beans are dried, which produces a cleaner, more defined flavour compared to natural or honey processing.
filter methods such as pour over or aeropress work well for this medium roast, as they highlight the floral and tea-like qualities without masking them. keep brew time controlled and avoid very high water temperatures to prevent the delicate jasmine and black tea notes from turning bitter.
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.
