ethiopia coffee
by calico coffee · london, uk
you'll taste stone fruit before peach. this is ethiopia gotiti honey moon - dry fermentation washed, a honey ethiopia from calico coffee.
the cup leads with stone fruit and peach, followed by honey and honeycomb sweetness. the honey process contributes that ripe, sugary quality that carries through from start to finish.
the coffee comes from gotiti in yirgacheffe, ethiopia, and is processed using the honey method, where the fruit skin is removed but the sticky mucilage remains on the bean as it dries, transferring sweetness to the final cup.
filter methods such as pour over or aeropress suit this coffee well, as they highlight the delicate stone fruit and honey notes without masking them. use water around 93c and a medium-fine grind to avoid over-extraction.
you notice the filter bar first, hand-built and low, the kind of thing someone who trained as an architect would obsess over. junchao jonny huang did exactly that before placing third at the 2023 uk brewers cup and opening calico on lower marsh near waterloo. dark wood, soft light, no wasted gestures. huang roasts some of the coffee himself, sources his own green, and still brings in guest roasters when it makes sense. every drink comes with an origin card. considered without being precious about it.
