ethiopia coffee
by substance café · paris, france
you'll taste lemon before grapefruit. this is ethiopia gesha village lot 132, a honey ethiopia from substance café.
it tastes citrus-forward, with lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest at the front, followed by jasmine, floral tones, honey, and honeycomb sweetness. the honey process adds a soft, syrupy quality that supports the fruit and floral notes.
it is a gesha varietal grown in ethiopia and processed using the honey method, meaning the coffee is dried with some mucilage left on the seed rather than being fully washed. this is lot 132 from gesha village, indicating a specific, traceable harvest batch.
a filter or pour-over method suits this coffee well, as it preserves the lemon, grapefruit, and jasmine notes that define the gesha variety. brew at around 90-93°c with a medium-fine grind to keep the citrus and floral clarity intact.
you book a time, you show up, and joachim morceau decides what you're drinking. that's the deal at substance café. no takeaway, no menu to scroll, just coffee roasted on site and a host who competed at the french brewers cup twice, once pulling a runner-up finish with a washed biodynamic geisha. the lots he sources are small, sometimes unrepeatable. he's not chasing volume. he's slowing you down long enough to actually hear where the coffee came from.
