tropical savanna is a natural-processed blend from ethiopia and brazil, with the ethiopian component sourced from the guji region. natural processing means the coffee cherries dry whole, which draws out the fruit sugars and gives this coffee its pronounced tropical fruit and winey character, alongside jasmine and floral top notes and a finish that moves through milk chocolate to dark chocolate. it's a good pick if you want something with sweetness and complexity rather than sharp acidity. brewed as a filter it opens up the florals, while espresso will push the chocolate and fruit together into a denser, richer cup.

common questions

What does TROPICAL SAVANNA taste like?

expect tropical fruit and a winey quality upfront, with jasmine and floral notes running through the middle, and milk chocolate and dark chocolate rounding out the finish. it's a sweet, layered cup rather than a clean or sharply acidic one.

How is TROPICAL SAVANNA grown and processed?

it's a blend of coffees from ethiopia's guji region and brazil, both processed naturally, meaning the whole coffee cherry is dried before the fruit is removed. this method concentrates fruit sugars in the bean and is largely responsible for the tropical, winey flavour profile.

How should I brew TROPICAL SAVANNA?

filter brewing, such as a v60 or chemex, will highlight the floral and tropical fruit notes, while espresso will bring the chocolate and fruit character together into a fuller, denser result. either way, the natural process means it rewards slightly lower brew temperatures to avoid amplifying any fermented edge.
