this is a light-roast ethiopian coffee from yasmin al sham roaster, processed using the washed method, which strips the fruit before drying and typically produces a clean, bright cup. expect lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest up front, with honey and honeycomb adding a mild sweetness in the background. the light roast keeps the acidity lively and the body relatively delicate. it performs best as a pour over or aeropress, where slower, more controlled brewing lets the citrus clarity and honeyed finish come through without muddying the cup.

about yasmin al sham roaster

the thing about yasmin al sham roaster is how they've managed to build something genuinely special on 108 avenue in surrey. not easy territory for independent coffee. but 259 google reviews averaging 4.7 stars tells you everything. these aren't polite canadians being nice. walk in and you can smell why people keep coming back. that particular sweetness when beans hit exactly the right temperature, the careful attention that separates real roasting from warehouse coffee. the regulars know their orders before they finish saying hello. staff remembers faces, preferences, the small details that make morning coffee feel less like a transaction. chains can't replicate this kind of care. they try, sure. but there's something about watching beans get transformed in small batches, knowing someone actually tasted this coffee before putting their name on it. yasmin al sham gets that connection right.
