ethiopia coffee
by brio coffeeworks · burlington, usa
you'll taste jasmine before floral. this is ethiopia shakisso, a washed ethiopia from brio coffeeworks.
it tastes floral and jasmine-forward, with a strong black tea quality that gives it a light, dry, tea-like character rather than a fruity or sweet profile.
it comes from the guji region of ethiopia and is washed processed, meaning the coffee cherry is removed before drying, which produces a cleaner, more delicate cup.
brewing methods that highlight clarity, such as pour-over, work well here, as they let the jasmine and black tea notes come through without muddying the lighter, tea-like finish.
