ethiopia coffee
by bono coffee roasters · calgary, canada
you'll taste tropical fruit before jasmine. this is black lion, a natural ethiopia from bono coffee roasters.
black lion leads with tropical fruit and layers in jasmine and floral notes, all shaped by a dark roast that adds body and rounds out the sweetness the natural process brings.
it comes from the guji region of ethiopia and is processed naturally, meaning the coffee cherries dried whole before milling, which deepens fruit and floral character in the cup.
the dark roast and natural process make it well suited to french press or moka pot, where its body can shine, though pour-over with a coarser grind works if you want the jasmine and floral notes to come through more clearly.
the smell hits you first on 1st avenue northeast, that deep, toasted warmth that only comes from beans roasted with actual care. bono coffee roasters doesn't mess around with flashy marketing or instagram-bait latte art. they just roast really good coffee. 272 google reviews averaging 4.6 stars tells you something about consistency. regulars know they'll get the same careful attention whether it's their first cup or their thousandth. the baristas here understand extraction times matter. water temperature matters. the difference between good and great lives in those details. what sets this place apart from the chains isn't just the small-batch roasting, though that helps. it's the way they treat coffee like it deserves respect, not like a caffeine delivery system. you taste the difference immediately, complexity where others offer blandness, actual flavor notes instead of burnt beans hidden under milk and sugar. this is coffee for people who care about coffee. simple as that.
