Fonté Coffee Roasters, a Seattle-based wholesale and retail outfit focusing on boutique hotels and restaurants, is currently featuring the much-hyped Ethiopian Nekisse at its downtown Seattle flagship store.
Available as a single origin espresso or siphon, Nekisse will be offered in-store only and for a limited time. You can read a review of the Nekisse at Fonté by visiting the Seattle-centric and up-and-coming blog Why Not? Coffee.
This naturally processed coffee extracted as a SOE started with deep notes of dark chocolate followed by strong lavender notes that dominated the cup. The espresso finished with a sparkling acidity and smooth notes of honey that caressed the back of my palate as I gently tilted the demitasse back… good to the last drop… it’ll be something that calls your name as you wake up in the morning.
