A good cup from light to dark. A more potent brew, sharing some roots with Kenya coffee. A bit stronger citric tone upfront at lighter roast points. Herbal, chocolate, spice to balance out the bright features. Medium body and creamier mouthfeel, medium acidity with rich chocolate, herbal and spice notes. Lighter roasting will have a noticeable crisp lemony floral edge, balanced with a nutty/herbal/cocoa dark tone. Holds up lighter but needs a longer setup and can risk a little vegetal edge, shows a little hint of caramel and is much sweeter than the fuller roasts. We found it best to push the roast into the medium category to build the richer dark tones, muting up some of the classic African brightness: comes off nice and chocolaty with some herbal/spice balance. Dark roasts are strong and semi-sweet with a full body, complimenting roasty and smoky tones. We couldn’t find a roast we didn’t like with these beans, if you roast lighter, just make sure you do not mind a little stronger citric component.

Kayon Mountain has become a tradition around here, marks one of our favorite times of the year, new Ethiopian season! Beautiful coffee and screen.
Clean, bright, sweet with a very diverse flavor set. Stone and darker fruit, citrus & floral, and spiced chocolate tones are the main flavors one can see in this cup, either accentuated or muted depending on roast level. Nice jammy body will be seen in the medium to borderline dark roast mark. Very dependent on roast – lighter roasting gives much more of the citrus, red-fruit with just a hint of a spicy chocolaty factor, a much dryer finish. Darker roasts produce much more of a bakers chocolate cup with a hint of a strawberry like fruit note and good sweetness, far less acidic. A very enjoyable cup from light to dark.

One sniff of this coffee and you know you have something special. Jasmine floral and sweet aromatics, something you will only get out of Ethiopian coffee or Ethiopian strains. Best on the light to medium roasts but a wonderful cup at almost any roast level. Light to medium you get those wonderful aromatics that come through in the taste, peachy acidity, with hints of soft fruit balancing with rich defined black tea like spice notes a. A cup like this is why washed processed Ethiopians are one of the hottest coffees on the market. Darker roasts burn out a bunch of the acidity/floral/fruity but still a nice cup, strong tea spice and semi-sweet chocolaty factor.

Lighter roasting is recommended to see the cup shine but hard to find a bad roast point. Lighter roasts are where you will see the cleanliness of the cup, balanced tones with good mouthfeel and hardly a hint of anything grassy or vegetal. It will have some decent brightness, lemony with just a pinch of peachy or tropical like fruitiness. The aromatics are unique being overly floral with some classic Ethiopian hints of lavender/jasmine. The lighter tones pull some balance with the classic tea (herbal/spice) like darker tones. Medium roasts really mellow out the acidity and reduce the citric & floral tastes, creates a bit more body and a much more recognizable chocolaty factor. A very smooth, balanced and rich cup with exotic highlights. Darker roasts are fuller bodied and dark toned: roasty, bakers chocolate with some unique spice and rich aromatics.

Fantastic example of an Ethiopian Natural. Keep this one light to medium roasted. Too dark and the awesome crisp and clean fruit/floral notes disappear. A mellow cup on the sweeter side with nice darker fruit tones popping right out. The cool natural tones balance with a tea like spice note, a sign of its roots, Yirgs are known for their more tea like dark tones. Many would call it a chocolaty undertone with a jazzy spice note but we like the tea reference and most will agree. A bit more delicate of a cup with a little lower acidity. Depending on what you like this can be a real perk, fruity and sweet without risking high acidity or overly sour tones at the lighter roast points. A little easy to roast out the fruitiness, so don’t let it get too dark!

A great cup from city+ to full city roasts. Light medium to dark medium some would say. Although a natural, this is not a super fruity coffee, will show hints at lighter roasts along with some citric. These beans are more about the complex chocolate and spice notes, the sweet fruit highlights are just a little perk and balance the cup nicely. At lighter roasts it’s distinctly floral, Ethiopians heirloom strains in action, pronounces lime and lemon-zest acidity with a little sweet red fruit tone, strawberry like. These lighter tones comingle with a rustic chocolate and spice, slightly herbaceous at lighter roasts. At medium roasts it turns smooth and balanced, with a silky body (between light and medium) and a rustic chocolate like backbone that supports the hints of fruitiness well. Pushed darker it gains punch and shifts toward dark/baker’s chocolate and cocoa, while maintaining a medium-soft body. Overall: floral-leaning, sweet, and very clean.

Good from light to dark but we thought best at a strong medium to dark roast. A good bean to go after a rich and semi-exotic chocolate tone with some wonderful aromatics and a bit of spice. Light roasts are more citric and floral with wonderful aromatics and a sweet edged, a bit punchy in the citric department and contrasts with a bit of nutty/herbal/grassy undertones. Works well but needs a much longer setup time bring out smooth and clean tastes, sharp and grassy/herbal if drank too soon. Medium roasts will bring some lovely balance to the cup and provides a clean tasting brew without waiting a week to drink it. One starts seeing the chocolate aspect but will still pull some balance with the citric and floral. Less aromatic than the light roasts, but you can still tell you have a nice Ethiopian with one sniff. Darker roasts touching or into second crack are real robust, strong and semi-sweet, more bakers-chocolate like with tea like spice in the aftertaste.

Best at light to medium roast levels but depending on personal taste, works nicely from light to dark. A crisp, clean, sweet and very floral cup (jasmine like), with some classic Yirgacheffe chocolate and tea-like spice contrast. Light roasts are delicate and pretty bright, accentuating the floral but also the herbal tea like components. Overall the acidity is medium and is perceived more as mandarin orange than sharp lemon; the sweetness is reminiscent of caramel, and as the temperature drops, a cocoa base is felt, adding more body. Subtle fruity notes (blackberry/sweet citrus) and a slight spice note; a silky medium body and a very clean finish with hints of honey and cocoa. A rich and expressive coffee in which, although there is fruit, the floral notes dominate with a tea-like character.

A wonderful example of a darker toned, lower acidity Ethiopian. We thought best from medium to dark roasts but it will still find fans at lighter roast points. Lighter roasts will have some buzzy acidity and just a hint of lemon/floral balanced with smooth and rich herbaceous spice notes. A bit more on the bergamot/dark-tea like Yirgacheffe profile. Medium roasts turn the herbaceous notes towards the chocolaty side moving the herbal/tea like tones to the aftertaste. A bit fuller bodied, lower acidity with complex darker tones. Dark roasts turn semi-sweet and even more chocolaty, the spice is readily noticeable and the body picks up a bit of a creamy factor, the roasty/smoky notes mix well with the darker toned profile of this bean but will not hold its sweet edge like most Ethiopians.

A very clean and brighter cup, silky-smooth mouthfeel that shines from the first whiff of honey sweetness to the final sip of bolder spice. Best served at light-to-medium roasts. A brighter, full flavored cup with great depth of flavor. Upon first sip, one will see a vibrant burst of lemon/orange citric comingling with a slight red fruit, quickly balanced by a creamy cocoa undertone with a little gentle black-tea like spice in the aftertaste. Underlying notes of roasted nuts and cocoa anchor the profile. As the cup cools the acidity softens and a deeper chocolate note swells, yet the honey aromatics persist, making every temperature stage deliciously consistent.

Rich and chocolaty, Tanz coffee is always high on our go to list for stronger chocolaty darker roast coffee. At the medium roasts one will see a more gentle cup with good body, a little sweeter edge, hints of acidity and stronger chocolaty spice. Darker roasts get much fuller bodied and bring out the very strong bakers chocolate edge balancing nicely with classic African spice note and complimenting roasty/smoky tones. Lighter roasts will show crisp lemony acidity with more of a caramel/chocolate spin but can be pretty sharp.
