african dark ale is a dark-roast blend from moka joe coffeehouse, combining beans from ethiopia and peru processed using the honey method, where some fruit mucilage is left on the bean during drying. that processing choice carries through in the cup, producing caramel, honey, and honeycomb sweetness with the heavier body and lower acidity typical of a dark roast. the 2lb bag suits regular drinkers who go through coffee quickly. brew methods that highlight sweetness and body, such as french press, moka pot, or espresso, will suit this roast level best. grind coarse for immersion methods, fine for espresso.
