I never knew coffee could taste like this
(lemmy.nz)
I don’t have tons of experience with really light roasts, nor super high elevations. This is my first for both.
This is a single origin Ethiopian landrace varietal grown in the Oromia Region in the Guji Zone as high up as 2350 MASL. These beans are then sorted in a float tank and naturally processed, leading to a very strong strawberry flavour. This is the strongest single tasting note I’ve ever noticed in a coffee, it is so extremely strawberry forward. I’m really excited to do a bean review episode on this bag in the near future.
Here’s the back of the bag, including a QR code to read more if you’re interested:
I went to a coffee tasting event (a cupping if you’re fancy) once, and the barista gave us this spiel about how it’d be different from a wine tasting because coffee varies wildly in flavour depending on climate and processing. I was rolling my eyes, because espresso is espresso right? He served up a light roasted Ethiopian single-origin like this one and it blew my mind. It’s a shame so much coffee is dark roast (or worse, French roast aka burnt to shit).
