What does Contender taste like?
contender leads with blueberry and citrus, layering in lemon, grapefruit zest, and a jasmine floral quality. the natural process amplifies the fruit, while the medium roast keeps it balanced rather than jammy.
How is Contender grown and processed?
contender is sourced from ethiopia and uses a natural process, meaning the whole coffee cherry dries together before the seed is separated. this method is responsible for the pronounced fruit and floral character in the cup.
How should I brew Contender?
pour over is a strong fit for this coffee, as it highlights the distinct citrus and floral notes the natural process produces. the medium roast is forgiving enough to also work as a filter brew at standard parameters.
