ethiopia coffee
by caffe vita · seattle, usa
you'll taste lemon before grapefruit. this is in the garden: ethiopia sidamo taferi kela, a washed ethiopia from caffe vita.
this coffee leads with lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest, followed by softer peach and stone fruit sweetness, with jasmine floral notes running throughout. the overall profile is bright and clean, typical of a washed ethiopian light roast.
the coffee comes from the sidamo region of ethiopia and is processed using the washed method, meaning the fruit is removed before the beans are dried, which emphasizes clarity and bright acidity in the cup.
as a light roast, this coffee benefits from brew methods that highlight delicate flavors, such as pour over or aeropress, using slightly lower water temperatures around 195200°f to avoid over-extraction of its bright citrus and floral notes.
