Cognito Coffee Roasters' Ethiopia Sidama Bombe Natural GR1.

This coffee is beautiful. It's a Grade 1 (so yeah, the best grade!), hand sorted, and it's natural processed (dried whole fruit) so it retains all those lovely bright and clean fruit aromas and flavours. Even before roasting it smells like pineapple and peach. Pulled espresso shots with this coffee are great, but tasters preferred this one as pourover or aeropress. Ethiopian coffees tend to be more brittle due to their high density so slightly courser grinding is the key with this one.

Flavour Notes: Fragrant, sweet, delicate florals, clean cup, medium body, cherries/light peach, strawberry, black tea.

Origin: Ethiopia

Elevation: 1800-2000m

Varietal: Sidama Heirloom

Process: Single Origin, natural (Dry) Process & sun dried on raised beds & hand sorted

Cognito Coffee Roasters: A small-scale specialty roaster located in Nanaimo, BC. They source only the highest-grade coffees with a Specialty Coffee Association minimum benchmark score of 86 points and up. All their green coffees are graded by coffee sommeliers called “Q-graders: who determine flavour profiles and scores. Cognito's roasting philosophy focuses on hitting the flavour points unique to each varietal, to each region, and to the individual processing methods. Cognito Coffee Roasters honour the bean from farmer to cup.

As a third-wave roaster, Cognito don’t generally follow the traditional nomenclature around roast names like “Full City” or around methods like “Espresso”. Most well-roasted coffees can used in both drip and espresso or any method you like.

Cognito Coffee Roasters believe the bean guides them as they roast. This might sound a bit frufru but roasting coffee is like carving wood – it takes an artisan to find the shape within. The bean wants to be found.

Cognito never ever roast into the overly roasty/bitter zone. Nothing wrong with that for those who like it but it’s just not where their palate leads them. All the beans are roasted light to medium at most. Some are fruity and fresh, some are nutty and chocolatey, and they note this in the flavour profile.

It is no secret that most of the exquisite beans in the world today are best extracted by drip/Pourover/immersion. Cognito constantly searches for and roasts the best beans they can find and hope you find joy and mindfulness in their offerings. Always changing, forever evolving. Think, Coffee!
