Roast, brew, and tasting notes

Roast profile: Medium-light to maintain brightness and highlight fruit-forward notes. This coffee responds beautifully to light extraction, where the pear and jasmine aromas become more pronounced and the strawberry sweetness shines through.

Brewing suggestions: ideal for pour-over (V60 or dripper), AeroPress, or drip methods that emphasize clarity. Use a medium grind to maximize extraction without over-emphasizing acidity. Water temperature around 90–96°C (195–205°F) helps unlock the delicate floral profile without dulling the fruit notes. Aim for a balanced brew that showcases the cup’s clean finish and aroma.

Who should sip this

Ideal for coffee lovers who crave a fruit-forward Tanzanian experience with refined floral aromatics and a clean finish. Great for morning brews, weekend tastings, or any time you want a bright cup that remains approachable and balanced. Suitable for home brewers and seasoned equipment alike, especially those who appreciate a nuanced, aromatic cup without heavy roast notes.

Storage and care

Store in an airtight container away from light and heat to preserve the delicate pear and jasmine aromatics. Ground coffee should be used within a week for peak flavor; whole beans stay freshest when kept whole until grinding just before brew.
