ethiopia coffee
by r ki coffee lab · richmond, canada
you'll taste grapefruit before stone fruit. this is ethiopia-duwancho honey sidama, a honey ethiopia from r ki coffee lab.
it leads with grapefruit and stone fruit brightness, moves into peach sweetness, and finishes with honey and honeycomb richness, with jasmine and floral notes running through the cup.
it is grown in the sidama region of ethiopia and processed using the honey method, meaning the fruit skin is removed but a layer of mucilage is left on the bean as it dries, adding body and sweetness.
filter methods such as pour over or aeropress work well here, as they allow the floral and citrus character to come through clearly without the honey sweetness becoming heavy.
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.
