ethiopia coffee
by kulture coffee · leeds, uk
you'll taste lemon before grapefruit. this is ethiopian sidamo, a washed ethiopia from kulture coffee.
this coffee leads with lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest, supported by jasmine and floral notes, with sugar cane providing a soft sweetness that keeps the bright acidity in check.
the coffee is grown in the sidamo region of ethiopia and uses a washed process, meaning the fruit is removed before drying, which produces a clean, bright cup with well-defined acidity.
brew methods that emphasize clarity, such as pour-over or aeropress, work well here, as they allow the citrus acidity and floral notes to come through without muddying the clean, washed-process character.
