gekenke is a single origin honey processed bourbon from the gakenke region, sourced across ethiopia, rwanda, and burundi by break coffee roasters. honey processing leaves some fruit mucilage on the bean during drying, which tends to push sweetness forward and soften acidity. the result here is grapefruit brightness balanced by honey and honeycomb sweetness, making it a good pick for drinkers who want fruit character without sharp tartness. it suits filter methods that highlight clarity and sweetness, such as pour over or aeropress, brewed with water around 93 celsius to keep the grapefruit note clean without turning bitter.
