ethiopia + colombia coffee
by lilo coffee roasters · osaka, japan
you'll taste tropical fruit before honey. this is 【in the coffee kyoto】果花風月 / tropical serenade, an anaerobic ethiopia + colombia from lilo coffee roasters.
it tastes of tropical fruit, honey, and honeycomb, flavours driven largely by the anaerobic fermentation process applied to the ethiopian and colombian beans. the profile is sweet and fruit-forward rather than bitter or roasty, which is consistent with its light roast level.
the coffee is sourced from ethiopia and colombia, two origins blended together by lilo coffee roasters. both components are processed anaerobically, meaning the cherries ferment in sealed, oxygen-free tanks before drying, which amplifies fruity and sweet flavour compounds.
as a light roast, it responds well to filter brewing methods such as pour-over or aeropress, which preserve its fruit and honey character. keep your water temperature slightly lower, around 88-92°c, to avoid extracting harsh or astringent flavours from the lightly roasted beans.
