lilac dream is a washed burundian coffee from phil & sebastian coffee roasters, hudson block. washed processing strips the cherry before drying, which tends to produce clean, defined cups, and that clarity shows here in a profile built around stone fruit, jasmine, and floral top notes that settle into black tea and a gentle, tea-like finish. it's a lighter, more delicate style of cup rather than a bold or heavy one. pour-over or filter brewing suits it well, keeping the floral and fruit character distinct without muddying the finer details.

common questions

What does Lilac Dream taste like?

lilac dream has stone fruit and jasmine up front, with floral character throughout and a black tea, tea-like quality that carries into the finish. it's a clean, relatively delicate cup rather than a heavy or chocolatey one.

How is Lilac Dream grown and processed?

it's a washed coffee from burundi, meaning the fruit is removed from the bean before drying. washed processing typically produces a cleaner, brighter cup that highlights the coffee's inherent floral and fruit characteristics.

How should I brew Lilac Dream?

filter or pour-over methods work well here, as they preserve the clarity and definition that washed processing produces. keeping water temperature moderate and avoiding over-extraction will help maintain the floral and tea-like notes rather than flattening them.
