burundi coffee
by phil & sebastian coffee roasters + bloom - marda loop · calgary, canada
you'll taste stone fruit before jasmine. this is lilac dream, a washed burundi from phil & sebastian coffee roasters + bloom - marda loop.
lilac dream has stone fruit and jasmine alongside broader floral tones, finishing with a black tea, tea-like quality that makes the cup feel light and clean rather than heavy or syrupy.
the coffee comes from burundi and is washed processed, meaning the fruit is removed before drying, which contributes to the clean, clearly defined flavors in the cup.
brew methods that emphasize clarity and aromatics, such as pour-over or aeropress, will let the floral, jasmine, and black tea notes come through most distinctly.
phil & sebastian's marda loop outpost gets coffee right in ways that matter. the bloom location on 33rd avenue draws regulars who know the difference between decent coffee and coffee that actually cares about your morning. those 4.3 stars from 737 reviews tell a story about consistency, about baristas who understand extraction timing and milk texture without making a show of it. this isn't coffee theater. it's the real thing. you smell the roasting before you see the shop, that deep caramelized richness that only comes from beans treated with respect. the steam wand hisses with purpose, not performance. regulars order by name, not because it's trendy but because they've found something worth returning to. in a city where chain coffee dominates every corner, phil & sebastian remembers why independent roasters exist: to make coffee that tastes like someone actually gives a damn about what ends up in your cup.
