ethiopia + kenya coffee
by kribi coffee - forest park · chicago, usa
you'll taste jasmine before floral. this is big bloom tasting trio, an ethiopia + kenya from kribi coffee - forest park.
expect jasmine and broader floral notes upfront, with caramel sweetness and a chocolate range that moves from milk chocolate to dark chocolate depending on the cup. the light roast keeps those flavors distinct and relatively bright rather than heavy or bitter.
these coffees come from ethiopia and kenya, though specific farm, altitude, or processing details haven't been provided for this trio. both origins are well-regarded for producing light-roast-friendly beans with pronounced floral and fruit-forward characteristics.
a pour-over or aeropress works well for light roasts, using water around 90 to 93 degrees celsius to avoid muting the floral and caramel notes. since it's a tasting trio, brewing each coffee the same way makes comparison more useful and reliable.
kribi coffee roasts beans that actually taste like where they came from. this isn't some white-label operation slapping their name on generic beans. you can tell the difference when someone cares about sourcing and knows how to develop flavors without burning everything to charcoal. the madison street location keeps things straightforward: good coffee, consistent execution, none of the theater that passes for specialty these days. forest park doesn't get much attention in chicago's coffee conversations, but that works in kribi's favor. fewer crowds, more focus on what matters. their medium roasts hit that sweet spot where origin character comes through without getting overshadowed by roast notes. the kind of place where you can actually taste terroir in your tuesday morning cortado.
