this is a honey processed ethiopian coffee from the sidamo region, scored 88.5 by the sca and roasted by roastville coffee roasters. honey processing means the fruit mucilage is left on the bean during drying, which bridges the clarity of a washed coffee and the sweetness of a natural. expect bright citrus across lemon, grapefruit, and zest, layered with stone fruit, jasmine, and a floral lift that settles into black tea and honeycomb. the tea-like quality makes it well suited to filter brewing, where its lighter, more delicate structure can open up fully. use a pour over or batch brewer to keep the acidity clean and the floral notes intact.
