ethiopia coffee
by foret coffee · nagano, japan
expect blueberry. this is 『300g』 ethiopia natural 浅焼き, a natural ethiopia from foret coffee.
the primary tasting note is blueberry, a characteristic common in naturally processed yirgacheffe coffees, where the drying fruit imparts a sweet, berry-forward quality. the light roast keeps those fruit flavors at the forefront without adding significant roast or bitter tones.
the coffee comes from yirgacheffe, ethiopia, and is processed using the natural method, meaning the whole cherry is dried around the bean before milling. this technique tends to produce pronounced fruit sweetness and body compared to washed processing.
as a light roast, it responds well to brew methods that emphasize clarity and sweetness, such as pour over or aeropress, using water in the 88-92°c range to avoid muting the blueberry character. grind medium-fine and adjust to taste, as light roasts can under-extract if ground too coarse.
your stop on the walk to zenkoji temple, foret coffee roasts in-house and rotates through five or six single-origin beans on any given day. the range is real: you might pick something juicy and light one visit, or go for a darker roast that leans into bittersweet notes the next. they do a house blend too. the warm wood shopfront sits against a grey apartment building on nagano's central street, and inside, colorful illustrations cover the walls. grab a drip, an espresso tonic, and maybe a slice of far breton.
