ethiopia coffee
by bono coffee roasters · calgary, canada
you'll taste jasmine before floral. this is walia, a washed ethiopia from bono coffee roasters.
walia has jasmine and floral aromatics alongside black tea and earthy qualities, giving it a clean, tea-like character rather than a heavy or syrupy profile.
walia is grown in ethiopia and uses a washed process, meaning the coffee cherry fruit is removed before the beans are dried, which produces a cleaner, more defined cup.
the delicate floral and tea-like notes in walia are best highlighted through filter or pour over brewing, where water temperature and flow rate can be controlled to avoid muting the lighter aromatics.
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.
