by java roastery · birmingham, uk
this is ethiopia guji (medium roast), a washed ethiopia from java roastery.
specific tasting notes were not provided for this coffee, but washed ethiopian coffees from yirgacheffe are generally known for a clean, bright cup with well-defined acidity. the medium roast keeps the profile lighter and more origin-forward rather than leaning into roast-driven flavours.
this coffee is grown in yirgacheffe, ethiopia, and uses a washed process, meaning the fruit is removed from the bean before drying. washed processing typically produces a cleaner, more transparent cup compared to natural or honey methods.
a medium roast washed ethiopian coffee works well with filter methods such as pour over or aeropress, which highlight the clarity and acidity the washed process produces. no specific brew guidance was supplied by the roaster, so starting with a standard filter recipe, around 60g per litre at 93 degrees celsius, is a reasonable baseline.
tucked along colmore row in birmingham's business district, java roastery does what too many coffee shops forget: they actually roast. the smell hits you first, that deep, toasted warmth that only comes from beans roasted on-site. none of that stale, weeks-old stuff from corporate chains. their 4.5 stars from nearly 800 google reviews tell the real story. regulars know the baristas by voice, not name tags. they remember your order without the forced familiarity of chain training. the coffee here tastes like someone cares about it, which they do. what sets java roastery apart isn't flashy machinery or trendy aesthetics. it's the simple fact that when you order an espresso, you're drinking beans that were probably roasted this week, maybe yesterday. that freshness comes through in every cup, bright, clean, with the kind of complexity you can't fake with syrups or fancy milk art.
