Why choose Ethiopia SOE?

In the world of specialty coffee, Ethiopia is widely recognized as the cradle of flavor. This SOE blend breaks free from the confines of single processing methods, expertly combining the clean acidity of "washed processing" with the rich fruity sweetness of "natural processing" in a golden ratio. Through deep roasting techniques, the floral and fruity characteristics of Ethiopian heirloom varieties are transformed into caramel and chocolate flavors with immense body and complexity.

"Dynamic Balance" Born from the Harvest Season

To ensure that every cup of coffee achieves its best flavor, Nokbay's roasters regularly adjust the blending ratio and selected beans based on seasonal changes. This means that every bag of beans you receive is the best representation of Ethiopia's terroir for that particular season.

【Cupping Notes】

• As Black Coffee (Espresso/Americano):

Upon tasting, a solid dark chocolate bittersweetness emerges, followed by a velvety caramel in the mid-palate, concluding with a subtle hint of dark berries, clean and profound.

• As Milk Coffee (Latte/Cappuccino):

When combined with milk, it reveals an amazing hazelnut and butterscotch flavor. The oils brought out by the dark roast allow the coffee and milk to blend seamlessly, creating a silky smooth drinking experience.

【Brewing Recommendations】

• Recommended Water Temperature: 92°C - 94°C

• Brew Ratio: 1:2.0 - 1:2.2 (e.g., 18g of grounds to extract approximately 36-40g of coffee liquid)

• Extraction Time: 26 - 30 seconds

• Tip: It is recommended to rest the beans for 7-10 days before use for a more stable and balanced flavor.
