ethiopia coffee
by dear deer coffee roasting bar pakuranga · auckland, new zealand
you'll taste lemon before red apple. this is ethiopia limu grade 2, a washed ethiopia from dear deer coffee roasting bar pakuranga.
this coffee leads with lemon and red apple brightness, supported by stone fruit and peach sweetness, jasmine florals, and a finish that settles into caramel and cocoa.
it is grown in the yirgacheffe region of ethiopia and processed using the washed method, where the coffee cherry is removed before drying to produce a cleaner, more defined flavour profile.
filter or pour over methods suit this coffee well, as they preserve the clarity of the citrus acidity and floral notes that the washed process produces. if brewing espresso, expect a sharper, more citrus-driven shot.
and that's exactly what you find tucked away on gossamer drive in pakuranga heights. dear deer coffee roasting bar operates with the kind of quiet confidence that comes from knowing your beans inside out. they roast their own coffee here, which means you're getting something that was probably still green beans just days ago. the regulars who keep coming back aren't chasing trends or instagram moments. they want coffee that tastes like someone actually cares about the process from bean to cup. pakuranga heights isn't the first neighborhood you'd think of for specialty coffee, but that's probably why dear deer works so well. no pressure to be anything other than what they are: a roastery that happens to serve excellent coffee to anyone willing to make the drive. your best bet is their single origin pour-over on a tuesday morning.
