ethiopia + panama coffee
by rigby roastery · austin, usa
you'll taste lemon before grapefruit. this is gesha coffee gesha village coffee estate, a washed ethiopia + panama from rigby roastery.
expect lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest upfront, with red apple and a winey quality in the mid-palate, and jasmine, floral, and black tea notes that give the finish a delicate, tea-like quality.
it's grown at gesha village coffee estate across ethiopia and panama using gesha, pink bourbon, and bourbon varietals, then processed using the washed method, which removes fruit before drying and produces a clean, bright cup.
a filter brew method suits this coffee well, as the clean washed process and tea-like character shine through pour-over or similar brewing rather than espresso.
and then you remember what espresso should actually taste like. rigby roastery sits on east austin's sixth street, pulling shots that make you wonder why you've been settling for mediocre coffee elsewhere. the regulars here aren't just being loyal for loyalty's sake. they know good espresso when they taste it. you walk in and the place feels serious about coffee without being precious about it. no theatrical pouring rituals or lengthy explanations of flavor notes. just consistently excellent espresso that doesn't need to announce itself. the kind of place where people order their second shot before finishing their first. when you find espresso this good, everything else starts tasting flat by comparison. order it straight, no milk to hide behind.
