tropical savanna is a blend of ethiopian coffee from the guji region and brazilian coffee, both processed naturally, meaning the fruit dries on the bean before milling. that process drives the cup toward tropical fruit, winey depth, and floral jasmine character, with milk and dark chocolate providing a grounding finish. it suits brew methods that let sweetness and fruit clarity come through, such as filter or french press. avoid aggressive extraction, as the winey, fruit-forward notes can tip bitter if pushed too hard. a medium-coarse grind and water around 92, 94 celsius is a reasonable starting point.

common questions

What does TROPICAL SAVANNA taste like?

expect tropical fruit and winey acidity up front, jasmine and broader floral notes in the middle, and milk chocolate and dark chocolate through the finish. the natural process makes the fruit character pronounced rather than subtle.

How is TROPICAL SAVANNA grown and processed?

the coffee comes from ethiopia's guji region and brazil, and both components are naturally processed, meaning the whole coffee cherry is dried intact, which concentrates fruit sugars and produces the winey, floral profile in the cup.

How should I brew TROPICAL SAVANNA?

filter methods such as pour-over or french press suit naturally processed, fruit-forward coffees like this, as they let the tropical and floral notes develop clearly. keep water temperature around 92, 94 celsius and avoid over-extraction to preserve the winey brightness rather than amplifying bitterness.
