you'll taste lemon before grapefruit. this is steven smith tea - lord bergamot 15 ct., a honey india from longbottom coffee & tea.
it leads with lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest, then settles into a black tea and honeycomb sweetness. the overall profile is tea-like and bright, making it feel closer to an earl grey than a conventional coffee.
the coffee is sourced from india and uses a honey process, meaning the fruit is partially left on the bean during drying. this contributes the honey and honeycomb sweetness noted in the cup.
a gentle brew method like pour-over suits the delicate citrus and tea-like character best, helping keep the lemon and grapefruit notes clean without pushing toward bitterness. avoid aggressive extraction to preserve the honey sweetness.
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.
