Tanat - Ethiopia Moka Lekempti Natural - Espresso - 200g

The story:
Moka Lekempti comes from the Lekempti region of western Ethiopia, made from traditional Heirloom varieties and processed as a natural. Our partners at Tanat roast it medium dark, which softens the typical Ethiopian brightness and gives it real espresso character. A version of Ethiopia for people who find lighter roasts too sharp, yet still crave aroma.

The taste:
Bright lemon lifts the cup at the start, followed by warm spices in the middle and a delicate floral finish. Acidity is gentler than in most Ethiopian naturals and the body stays balanced, so the cup reads layered and aromatic without turning sharp. It carries a lot of character for a medium dark roast.

The feeling:
Best on your espresso machine, where the spice and lemon come through in a short, aromatic shot. It also opens up in a V60 if you like variety on the bar. Pour it into a cortado on a slow afternoon, when you want a coffee with a bit of perfume to it and a lot of personality.
