the asanoha blend is a light-roast washed blend from lilo coffee roasters, drawing on beans from ethiopia, tanzania, and honduras for its may 2026 seasonal release. the washed process across all three origins keeps the cup clean and defined, with grapefruit acidity, red apple sweetness, and a dry, tea-like finish built around black tea character. because the roast is light, a pour-over or filter method works best, using water around 90-93°c to coax out the fruit and tea tones without turning the acidity sharp. grind medium-fine and give it a proper bloom.
