Fruity & Bright Seasonal Espresso Medium Roast
The Cup
Our fruity and bright seasonal espresso medium roast brings together a masterful blend of beans from Ethiopia’s Yirgacheffe region and the highlands of Huehuetenango, Guatemala. This exceptional pairing combines the delicate floral and jasmine aromas of East Africa with the sweet, structured richness and vibrant chocolate notes of Central America. Furthermore, expect a lively, aromatic cup where bright caramelized orange meets a smooth, lingering chocolate finish. The result is balanced yet complex and full of character. In addition, this seasonal espresso shines both on its own and when paired with steamed milk, ultimately offering a memorable coffee experience.

Chemex
The Chemex is a pour-over coffee maker featuring a glass carafe and thick paper filters. By slowly pouring hot water over the coffee grounds, you extract flavors with clarity and brightness. Consequently, this slower filtration produces a refined cup with delicate flavors and a clean, crisp finish. Moreover, it highlights the coffee’s unique characteristics while maintaining a balanced and elegant profile.
Recipe
- 32g medium-ground coffee
- 500ml water at 200°F
Steps
- Prime the filter with hot water, then add the grounds evenly.
- Pour 70ml water over the grounds to saturate, stirring gently if needed.
- Continue pouring the remaining water slowly, starting at the center and circling outward.
Pour Over
Pour over brewing involves slowly pouring hot water over coffee grounds in a filter, allowing full extraction of flavors and aromas. Compared to the Chemex, it uses thinner filters, resulting in a cup with more body while still highlighting the coffee’s unique nuances. In addition, the controlled pour emphasizes the bean’s subtle characteristics and complexity.
Recipe
- 23g coffee ground on #7 (Baratza Vario)
- 360ml water at 200°F
Steps
- Pour 60ml water to saturate the grounds, then let sit for 20 seconds.
- Add the remaining water in a steady pour, starting at the center and circling outward.
- Stir lightly for even extraction.
Seasonal Espresso
Our seasonal espresso medium roast showcases the finest beans of the season, fully traceable to a single farm, lot, variety, and process. In addition, each release highlights its origin’s character and offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the season’s most exceptional, carefully curated coffee.
Coffee Origins
Ethiopia
Ethiopia, the birthplace of coffee, offers a stunning range of flavors shaped by its diverse regions. With floral aromas, fruity notes, and bright acidity, Ethiopian coffees are celebrated for their complexity and light to medium body. As a result, these beans rank among the most vibrant in the world.
Guatemala
Guatemala’s volcanic highlands create ideal conditions for coffee. Here, rich soils and cool climates produce bright, complex flavors with a medium to full body. Moreover, expect lively fruit, smooth chocolate, and subtle spice, all of which make Guatemalan coffee a standout origin for specialty roasts.
Roast Level
Medium roast coffee strikes a balance between the bean’s natural origin flavors and the character developed during roasting. With a medium body and moderate acidity, it often highlights sweeter notes such as caramel, chocolate, or toasted nuts. Consequently, this roast level is widely loved for its smooth, approachable, and versatile profile.
Flavor Note
Bright & Fruity Coffee
Bright and fruity coffees deliver a lively, crisp flavor with higher acidity, giving the cup a clean, sparkling quality. Notes of citrus, berries, stone fruit, or tropical flavors add natural sweetness, juiciness, and vibrancy, resulting in a refreshing and dynamic coffee experience that highlights the unique characteristics of the beans.
