Why you'll love it
  • Bright but not sharp
  • Delicate and complex — lots going on in the cup
  • Classic Ethiopian character — floral, fruity, and elegant
When to drink it

Morning or early afternoon. Best enjoyed black so you can taste all the brightness.
What's Inside

High-grown Ethiopian Arabica roasted lightly to keep all its floral character, citrus lift, and gentle stone-fruit sweetness. Clean, vibrant, and elegant — the opposite of dark-roasted power.

From our shop in Clapham

We’re a small bunch of coffee people with a shop in Clapham.


You’ll usually find someone trying a fresh roast, another chatting about kit, and plenty of friendly faces.


We love showing how simple great coffee can be — no jargon, no fuss, just a few good beans and a bit of know-how.


If you’re ever nearby, come in for a coffee and a chat. We’ll help you brew something brilliant at home.

This is the one we brew at the Abbeville Road tasting station when people want to explore lighter roasts. We usually pour it next to something like Sin City Roast or Dr Jones so people can taste the full spectrum — from bright and fruity to dark and chocolatey. Come in and try it black — it's lovely.

Frequently asked questions
Is it fruity?

Yes — naturally. Ethiopian coffee often has stone fruit, citrus, and floral notes.
Is it good with milk?

We are unable to accept returns on certain items. These will be carefully marked before purchase.
Is it acidic?

Bright, but not sour. Think ripe apricot and citrus, not sharp lemon.
