ethiopia coffee
by five elephant kollwitz · berlin, germany
you'll taste lemon before blueberry. this is ethiopia queen of sheba – filter & – espresso, a washed ethiopia from five elephant kollwitz.
it tastes of lemon and blueberry with a winey quality and a dry, black tea finish. the washed process keeps the cup clean, so those flavours come through with clarity rather than fruit-forward heaviness.
it is sourced from ethiopia and processed using the washed method, where the fruit is removed before drying to produce a cleaner, more tea-like cup profile.
five elephant offers two separate roasts, so use the filter roast for pour-over or drip brewing to preserve the lemon acidity and tea-like finish, and use the espresso roast specifically for espresso to get the best balance from that profile.
and that's when you realize berlin's coffee conversation runs deeper than the tourist trail might suggest. five elephant kollwitz sits on kollwitzstraße where prenzlauer berg settles into its residential rhythm, away from the museum crowds but close enough that you can walk there after browsing the weekend market. they roast their own beans, which means the coffee changes with what they're working on that week. not every neighborhood roaster manages to hold local attention for years, but this one does. the space fills with people who live nearby, laptop workers who've claimed their corner, conversations in three languages that blend into the background hum of a grinder working through the afternoon. you'll taste why they've stuck around when you order that flat white at 3pm on a tuesday.
