Best Brew Methods:
This coffee’s versatility shines across brew methods. It makes a delightful espresso and pairs beautifully with milk-based drinks. Try it as a pour-over or in an Aeropress if you want to bring out more of the fruity and floral notes. Even Dan enjoys it from the bean-to-cup machine at the office!
What’s Special About African Coffees?
African coffees are known for their bright acidity and complex flavours, often roasted lighter to highlight their unique characteristics. Arabica coffee in Africa is typically processed using natural methods, where coffee cherries are sun-dried on raised beds. This slower drying process allows for slight natural fermentation, creating that fruity, floral “funk” coffee enthusiasts adore.
If you’re looking to expand your coffee repertoire, this naturally processed African coffee is a must-try!
