by upper left roasters · portland, usa
you'll taste honey before honeycomb. this is abyssinian, ethiopia, a honey ethiopia from upper left roasters.
it cups with honey, honeycomb, milk chocolate, and dark chocolate, the honey process lending natural sweetness and body to the cup.

pour over and french press both suit this coffee well, use a medium grind and water around 93c to bring out the chocolate and honey sweetness without bitterness.
