this is a washed ethiopian coffee from the bensa area of sidama, roasted by r ki coffee lab. the washed process removes the fruit before drying, which tends to produce a cleaner, more defined cup, and that shows here in the sharp citrus character. expect lemon and grapefruit up front, citrus zest through the middle, and softer stone fruit, peach, and blueberry rounding out the finish. at 200g it suits filter brewing well, where the clarity of a washed coffee can come through fully. a pour over or aeropress with water around 92-94°c and a medium-fine grind will give the acidity room to express without turning harsh.

about r ki coffee lab

richmond's specialty coffee scene has quietly grown into something worth paying attention to, shaped in part by the city's dense, food-serious culture and its proximity to vancouver without being beholden to it. r ki coffee lab sits on lansdowne road, in a stretch of richmond that runs busy and practical rather than precious, and that context matters. this isn't a place trying to aestheticize the neighborhood around it. what you get here is roasting and brewing taken seriously by people who've built a local reputation on consistency rather than noise. the standing it holds in richmond didn't come from foot traffic alone. if you're in the area mid-morning, the filter coffee is where to start.
