ethiopia coffee
by queen city coffee roasters · plainfield, usa
you'll taste stone fruit before peach. this is yirgacheffe ethiopia - aricha mill, a washed ethiopia from queen city coffee roasters.
it has stone fruit and peach flavors with a dry, tea-like character that pulls toward black tea, making it a lighter, more delicate cup than a fruity or chocolatey roast.
the coffee comes from the yirgacheffe region of ethiopia and is washed processed at the aricha mill, meaning the fruit skin and pulp are removed before the beans are dried.
a filter or pour-over method suits this light roast well, as it highlights the clean, tea-like qualities that washed processing and a light roast level bring out.
