the ethiopia shantagolba ardent is a washed ethiopian coffee roasted by dark woods coffee ltd. washed processing means the fruit is removed before drying, which tends to produce a clean, defined cup, and that clarity comes through here in bright lemon and grapefruit flavours, citrus zest, and a floral jasmine character. it sits firmly on the lighter, more acidic end of the spectrum. filter brewing, such as a v60 or chemex, will give the cleanest expression of those citrus and floral qualities, keeping the cup transparent and precise rather than muddying the acidity.
