    Berg Wu

    Berg Wu is a Taiwanese barista of some renown, and John Small is a Korean roaster with a borderline cult following. So was excited to try this lot and it does not disappoint.

    It has a big stone fruit note, juicely ripe peach. There's a hint of Ocean Spray cranberry juice, the sweet kind a lot of us in New England drank as kids. It's very floral in a balanced way, a little lavender, a little jasmine, and little bergamot. It has a very smooth mouthfeel. An outstanding lot roasted perfectly.

    Cupping Method:I got this from Airworks as a small sample size, 20g so had just one crack at it. Made it 199F, 18:1 with Hario v60.

More Details

Roast Level: Light
Light roast coffee is a delicately roasted coffee that retains more of the beans' natural flavors and characteristics. Light-roasted coffees have bright acidity, complex fruit, and floral notes. Light roast coffee does not have less caffeine than darker roasts because caffeine levels remain stable during roasting.
Bean Source Country: Ethiopia
Widely regarded as the birthplace of coffee, Ethiopia boasts diverse and complex flavors, from bright, floral, and citrusy in Yirgacheffe to wine-like and berry-toned in Sidama. The country's heirloom varieties, combined with unique processing methods, make Ethiopian coffee truly distinctive and sought-after by enthusiasts worldwide.
Bean Source Region: Yirgacheffe
Yirgacheffe, a micro-region within Sidama in Ethiopia, grows coffee highly sought after for its complex, bright, and fruity flavor profile. Yirgacheffe coffee often exhibits citrus, berries, and jasmine notes, vibrant acidity, and a delicate, tea-like body. This region mainly produces heirloom Arabica varietals, which are indigenous to Ethiopia and possess a rich genetic diversity. Some specific varietals grown in Yirgacheffe include Kurume, Dega, and Wolisho, which are revered for their distinctive characteristics and contribute to the coffee's unique taste.
