the light roast collection from gordon street coffee draws on beans from yirgacheffe, ethiopia, alongside colombia and brazil. the ethiopian component is naturally processed, meaning the coffee cherries are dried whole, which pulls fruit-forward and winey characteristics into the cup. the roast lands at medium-dark, giving the lemon brightness somewhere to sit alongside milk chocolate and dark chocolate depth. because the roast level is substantial, this coffee responds well to methods that allow full extraction, such as french press or a longer pour-over, where the chocolate body can develop without the winey fruit getting lost.
common questions
What does Light Roast Collection taste like?
expect lemon acidity alongside winey fruit character, with milk chocolate and dark chocolate rounding out the finish. the natural process on the ethiopian beans pushes those fruit and wine-like qualities forward.
How is Light Roast Collection grown and processed?
the coffee sources beans from yirgacheffe in ethiopia, as well as colombia and brazil, with the ethiopian beans dried using a natural process. natural processing means the whole coffee cherry is dried before milling, which concentrates fruit and winey flavors in the final cup.
How should I brew Light Roast Collection?
at a medium-dark roast level, this coffee suits brew methods that allow longer contact time and full extraction, such as french press or a standard drip brewer. grinding slightly coarser and using water around 93 to 96 degrees celsius will help balance the lemon brightness against the chocolate body without over-extracting.
