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 is earthy and tea-like at its core, with black tea and floral qualities, including jasmine, running through the cup. the dark roast brings forward the earthier, more grounded side of the profile.
walia is sourced from ethiopia and processed using the washed method, meaning the coffee cherry's fruit is removed before the beans are dried. this typically results in a cleaner, more defined cup compared to natural or honey processes.
as a dark roast, walia works well with brew methods like french press, drip, or moka pot, which complement its earthy, tea-like depth. avoid very high water temperatures to prevent over-extraction, aiming for around 90 to 93 degrees celsius.
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.
