First Light

Guji Zone, Ethiopia

$21.00

Roast level 1 of 5. Light roast
  • Peach
  • Jasmine
  • Wild honey

First Light comes from a cluster of smallholder farms in the Guji Zone, picked at peak ripeness and washed at a central mill. We keep the roast short and bright so the florals stay loud.

Brew it as a pour-over and let it cool a little. The peach sweetness opens up around the five-minute mark. If you normally drink coffee with milk, try this one black at least once.

One-off orders over $35 ship free across Canada; otherwise flat $5.95.

Rated 4 out of 5

Lovely, once it rests a few days

First Light tasted a bit flat the day it arrived. By day five it was all peach and jasmine. Now I let each bag rest before I open it. Four stars only because the bag goes too fast.
