you'll taste lemon before grapefruit. this is steven smith tea - lord bergamot 100 ct. pantry filler, a honey india from longbottom coffee & tea.
it tastes like lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest with a noticeable honey and honeycomb sweetness underneath. there's a strong tea-like, black tea quality to the cup that makes it feel light and aromatic rather than heavy.
it's grown in india and processed using the honey method, where some fruit mucilage is left on the bean during drying. this contributes to the sweetness and body you get from the honey and honeycomb notes in the cup.
a filter or pour-over brew suits this coffee well, as it keeps the citrus brightness and tea-like delicacy intact. avoid very high water temperatures to prevent the citrus zest character from tipping into sharpness.
longbottom coffee & tea sits quietly on ne 59th avenue in hillsboro, the kind of place that earns its 4.6-star rating from over a thousand reviews through sheer consistency. no flash here. just coffee done right, cup after careful cup. the beans smell like promise when you walk in, and the steam from the espresso machine carries that particular hiss that tells you someone knows what they're doing behind the counter. regulars don't come back for instagram moments or trendy latte art competitions. they come because their morning cortado tastes the same excellent way it did last tuesday. and the tuesday before that. the roasting happens with the kind of attention that distinguishes independent shops from corporate formulas. each batch gets the time it needs, not the time a timer demands. your coffee arrives warm in the cup, bright on the palate, reminding you why chain stores always leave you wanting something more.
