ethiopia coffee
by sextant coffee roasters · san francisco, usa
you'll taste blueberry before jasmine. this is black lion - best seller organic yirgacheffe heirloom - ethiopian coffee, a natural ethiopia from sextant coffee roasters.
this coffee leads with blueberry and jasmine, supported by wider floral qualities that are characteristic of naturally processed yirgacheffe coffees. the light roast keeps those fruit and floral notes as the main focus rather than introducing roasty or bitter tones.
it is an organic heirloom variety grown in the yirgacheffe region of ethiopia and processed using the natural method, meaning the whole coffee cherry is dried before the bean is extracted. this drying process is what intensifies the blueberry and floral character in the cup.
the light roast suits pour-over or aeropress, where you can control temperature and extraction to preserve the delicate blueberry and jasmine notes. aim for a brew temperature around 88-92°c to avoid muting the floral qualities with excess heat.
