ethiopia coffee
by sk coffee: coffee bar & roastery · saint paul, usa
you'll taste blueberry before stone fruit. this is ethiopia, kayon mountain, natural, a natural ethiopia from sk coffee: coffee bar & roastery.
expect blueberry and stone fruit up front, with a jasmine floral note running through it. the natural process amplifies the fruit character, so it reads sweeter and more fruit-forward than a washed ethiopian coffee would.
the coffee comes from the guji region of ethiopia and is processed using the natural method, meaning the whole cherry dries around the bean before milling. this extended contact with the fruit skin is what gives the coffee its pronounced blueberry and stone fruit flavour.
filter brewing, such as a pour-over or drip, suits this coffee well, letting the floral and fruit notes express themselves without too much body getting in the way. keep your water temperature around 93c and avoid over-extraction, which can push the fruit flavours into murkiness.
and sk coffee on vandalia street proves that point better than most. this roastery operates with the kind of quiet confidence that comes from knowing your beans inside out. you'll find the sort of consistency here that keeps people coming back week after week, month after month. the roasting happens on-site, which means the coffee you're drinking was probably roasted days ago, not weeks. that freshness shows up in every cup, whether you're grabbing something quick on a tuesday morning or settling in with a pour-over when you have time to spare. the space draws a steady crowd of locals who've figured out that this is where you go when you want coffee done right. no pretense, just solid coffee knowledge applied to every roast. walk in on a thursday afternoon and you'll smell what they've been working on.
