tore station is a light-roasted natural-process coffee from the yirgacheffe region of ethiopia, sourced by conscious cup coffee roasters in crystal lake. natural processing, where the coffee dries inside the whole fruit, gives it a winey, fruit-forward character alongside jasmine and floral top notes and a cocoa finish. because the roast is light, you'll want brew methods that highlight clarity and sweetness, pour-over or filter brewing works well, keeping water temperature around 90-93°c to avoid bitterness and let the floral and winey qualities come through cleanly.
