lilac dream is a washed burundian coffee roasted by phil & sebastian coffee roasters at their simmons building cafe. the washed process strips the cherry cleanly before drying, which tends to highlight the bean's inherent brightness and clarity. expect stone fruit up front, jasmine and broader floral character in the middle, and a finish that drifts toward black tea. that tea-like quality makes it feel lighter and drier than a fruit-forward natural, so it rewards brew methods that preserve clarity, such as pour-over or aeropress with a medium-fine grind and water around 92 to 94 degrees celsius.
