    Super fruity and peachy, a fantastic lingering acidity sitting on top of a black tea platform. For a light roast, this has a huge hit of almond nuttiness in the middle, which is both interesting and sort of throws off the balance just a touch. Nano Genji, another Ethiopian roast from Tandem that I had last week set quite a high bar.

Light roast coffee does not have less caffeine than darker roasts because caffeine levels remain stable during roasting.

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: Guji
Guji is a renowned coffee-growing region in southern Ethiopia, known for producing exceptional coffees with distinctive flavor profiles.
