What to Expect
This Ethiopian Gotiti from Monsoon Estates is a washed coffee that refuses to behave like one. Grown at 2000–2100 metres in Gedeb, it delivers the floral clarity you'd expect from the process, but with an intensity of fruit that borders on natural territory. Blueberry, jasmine, green apple, and a whisper of chocolate make this a bright, complex cup that shows what high-altitude Ethiopian coffee can do when everything aligns.
The Cup
The body is light to medium and tea-like, with a silky mouthfeel that doesn't get in the way of the flavour. Acidity is high and citric, bright enough to wake you up twice. It's clean rather than funky, but the fruit character is pronounced—think fresh blueberry and crisp green apple rather than jammy sweetness. The jasmine note adds a floral lift that keeps the cup delicate, while a subtle chocolate undertone rounds things out without weighing it down.
Who This Is For
If you love bright, fruit-forward filter coffees with floral complexity, this is your kind of thing. It's for drinkers who want clarity and intensity in equal measure.
If you prefer a smooth, low-acid cup with chocolate and caramel, this will be too sharp for you.
Best for: Filter enthusiasts who chase florals and aren't afraid of acidity.
How to Brew This Coffee
A V60 will give you maximum clarity and let the jasmine and blueberry notes shine without muddying the delicate fruit. Filter methods like Chemex or Kalita Wave work beautifully here, preserving the tea-like body and floral character. If you like your espresso bright and zingy, an espresso shot will be intense and fruit-driven, though it won't suit everyone.

Ways to Brew
-
V60
V60 is a popular Japanese, cone-shaped pour-over coffee dripper designed for brewing clean, aromatic, and flavorful coffee. Known for its 60-degree angle, large single hole, and internal spiral ribs, it optimises water flow for a precise, quick, and customisable brewing process, typically 2-3 minutes.
-
Filter
A filter coffee machine (or drip coffee maker) is an often electric kitchen appliance that brews coffee by heating water, passing it through ground coffee and a filter, and dripping the finished brew into a carafe.
-
Espresso
An intense, concentrated brewing method that forces hot water through finely-ground coffee under high pressure. This produces a small, powerful shot with rich crema, serving as the foundation for countless coffee drinks while delivering bold flavors and aromatic complexity.
