this is a light roast single-origin coffee from the yirgacheffe region of ethiopia, roasted by union place coffee roasters. yirgacheffe is one of ethiopia's most distinct growing areas, known for producing coffees with pronounced acidity and floral character. in the cup you get bright citrus across lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest, alongside jasmine and broader floral tones, with milk and dark chocolate adding weight to the finish. the light roast keeps the origin character front and centre, so brewing methods that highlight clarity, like pour over or aeropress, will serve it well. avoid very high brew temperatures, which can push the citrus sharp.
