bloom is a washed ethiopian coffee from yirgacheffe, roasted by coaltown coffee roasters. yirgacheffe is known for producing coffees with clean, bright acidity, and the washed process here reinforces that clarity, stripping away fruit pulp before drying to let the bean's natural character come through. expect lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest up front, with a winey quality and a floral, jasmine finish. because the flavors are delicate and high-toned, brewing methods that highlight clarity work best, such as pour over or aeropress with filtered water just off the boil, keeping ratios on the lighter side to avoid muting the citrus brightness.
common questions
What does Bloom taste like?
bloom leads with lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest, then opens into a winey quality alongside floral, jasmine notes. it's a bright, clean cup with layered acidity rather than heavy body.
How is Bloom grown and processed?
bloom comes from yirgacheffe, ethiopia, one of the country's most recognized coffee-growing regions. it's processed using the washed method, meaning the fruit is removed before drying, which produces a cleaner, more defined flavor profile.
How should I brew Bloom?
brewing methods that preserve clarity, such as pour over or aeropress, suit bloom's delicate citrus and floral character well. avoid over-extraction by keeping brew times in check, as the winey and floral notes can be easily masked if brewed too strong or too hot.
