eastside is a medium-roast blend from jj bean coffee roasters, drawing on beans from ethiopia's yirgacheffe region, peru, and indonesia. the yirgacheffe component is washed processed, which tends to keep the cup clean and defined. tasting notes lean into chocolate across the spectrum, from softer milk chocolate to a deeper dark chocolate finish. at medium roast, the body is approachable without tipping into heavy or bitter territory. it suits filter brewing well, where the cleaner processing can show through, though it holds up in espresso-based drinks where chocolate-forward blends tend to work reliably.

common questions

What does Eastside taste like?

How is Eastside grown and processed?

eastside blends beans from ethiopia's yirgacheffe region, peru, and indonesia, with the yirgacheffe portion processed using the washed method, which removes fruit before drying to produce a cleaner cup.
