ethiopia coffee
by gazecafe · taipei, taiwan
you'll taste lemon before grapefruit. this is 決賽晉級作品|2025 wcc 世界盃烘豆大賽 台灣選拔賽, a washed ethiopia from gazecafe.
expect bright citrus flavors, lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest upfront, with a winey quality and a brown sugar sweetness in the background. the washed process keeps the cup clean and the acidity well-defined.
the coffee comes from yirgacheffe, ethiopia, one of the country's most recognized growing regions for bright, floral, and citrus-driven coffees. it is processed using the washed method, which removes the fruit before drying and produces a cleaner, more acidic cup.
a filter or pour-over method suits this light roast well, keeping the lemon and grapefruit notes clear and defined. use water around 90-93°c with a medium-fine grind to avoid masking the acidity with bitterness.
the flat white here pulls shots that actually have character. not the kind of coffee you find at chain spots scattered throughout taipei. you're in wanhua district, where guangzhou street runs through neighborhoods that feel more lived-in than polished. gazelatte draws people who care about what's in their cup, and they keep coming back for reasons that go deeper than convenience. the beans get attention here. real attention. not the kind of place that throws around fancy origin names they can't back up, but somewhere that knows what good coffee should taste like. the space fills with people who understand the difference between decent coffee and coffee worth making a trip for. order the americano if you want to taste what they're actually doing with their roast.
