ethiopia + bolivia coffee
by larry's coffee · raleigh, usa
you'll taste lemon before grapefruit. this is light roast sample pack (4oz bags), a honey ethiopia + bolivia from larry's coffee.
expect lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest on the brighter end, with honey, honeycomb, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and almond rounding things out. the honey process keeps the cup from feeling sharp or thin, adding a mild sweetness that ties the fruit and chocolate notes together.
the coffees come from ethiopia and bolivia and are both honey processed, meaning some fruit pulp remains on the bean while it dries. that step is what pulls through the honeycomb and chocolate character alongside the citrus brightness.
light roasts perform well with brew methods that allow full extraction of delicate flavors, so pour-over or aeropress are good starting points. grind medium-fine and use water just off the boil to avoid under-extracting the citrus and chocolate notes.
