black lion is a naturally processed ethiopian coffee from the guji region, roasted dark by bono coffee roasters. natural processing means the coffee dried inside the whole fruit, which concentrates sugars and typically intensifies fruit character. in the cup expect tropical fruit up front alongside jasmine and broader floral notes, all carried by the weight a dark roast brings. because it's roasted dark, it suits brewing methods that work well with body and sweetness, espresso or french press are good starting points. keep grind coarse for immersion or dial in a shorter espresso shot to avoid bitterness.
