Notes from our Roaster

Few coffees rival the flavor profile of a washed-Ethiopian in terms of its complexity and acidity/sweetness combination. Tagel Alemayehu shines with an intense combination of acidity and sweetness. Immediately, it you’ll notice its juicy fruitiness has more depth to it – more like blackberry or plum than your typical berry note. Its sweetness is paired alongside a bright citric note – which is where you’ll get lime! These two combine to give you a unique flavor profile (one of our favorites) in the world of coffee. It’s bright, juicy, and floral. A coffee as complex is this will brew exceptionally well as a pour over. If you’re going for clarity in your cup, try it as a V60 or Chemex.
