bensa is a washed ethiopian coffee roasted by volcano coffee works. the washed process, which removes fruit before fermentation, keeps the cup clean and precise, letting the bean's natural character come through clearly. expect stone fruit and peach up front, jasmine and broader floral tones in the middle, and a finish that moves between milk and dark chocolate. that combination of bright fruit, delicate florals, and chocolate makes it well-suited to filter brewing, where clarity and sweetness can develop fully. keep your water around 92-94°c and use a medium-fine grind to avoid dulling the lighter notes.

common questions

What does Bensa - Ethiopia taste like?

bensa leads with stone fruit and peach, supported by jasmine and floral tones, then finishes with both milk and dark chocolate. the washed process keeps those flavors clean and distinct rather than fruity or heavy.

How is Bensa - Ethiopia grown and processed?

this coffee comes from bensa, ethiopia, and is processed using the washed method, meaning the fruit skin and pulp are removed before the beans are fermented and dried. washed processing tends to produce a cleaner, more defined cup compared to natural or honey methods.

How should I brew Bensa - Ethiopia?

filter methods such as pour over or aeropress suit this coffee well, as they highlight the clarity and brightness that come from the washed process. aim for a medium-fine grind and water around 92-94°c to bring out the peach, jasmine, and chocolate without over-extracting.
