ethiopia coffee
by mill city roasters · minneapolis, usa
you'll taste stone fruit before peach. this is ethiopia - west arsi refisa, washed, a washed ethiopia from mill city roasters.
the cup leads with stone fruit and peach, supported by jasmine and broader floral tones. the washed process keeps things clean and well-defined rather than jammy or syrupy.
the coffee comes from the west arsi region of ethiopia and is processed using the washed method, meaning the fruit is removed before the beans are dried. this approach emphasizes clarity and the natural floral and fruit characteristics of the origin.
brew methods that highlight clean, delicate flavors work best here, such as pour over or aeropress. avoid over-extraction, as the floral and stone fruit notes can turn bitter if brewed too hot or too long.
