by five ways coffee roasters · amsterdam, netherlands
you'll taste lemon before grapefruit. this is ethiopia - shakiso - washed - guji, a washed ethiopia from five ways coffee roasters.
expect bright citrus flavors, lemon and grapefruit up front with citrus zest, supported by jasmine and broader floral notes. there is also a winey, tea-like quality with black tea in the background.
this coffee comes from the shakiso area within the guji region of ethiopia and is processed using the washed method, meaning the fruit is removed from the seed before drying, producing a cleaner, more defined flavor profile.
filter or pour-over methods suit this coffee well, as they highlight the bright citrus acidity and floral notes that washed ethiopian coffees are known for. keep water temperature around 90 to 94 degrees celsius to avoid muting the delicate jasmine and tea-like qualities.
