HONEY MOON from the French roastery Tanat Coffee is an Ethiopian coffee crafted for an espresso you’ll truly savor, not just drink. In the cup, juicy blueberries and fresh orange unfold, delivering a clean fruitiness that’s elegantly complemented by a subtle hint of black tea and a sweet, nutty finish. The result is a silky-smooth texture, balanced acidity, and a flavor profile that won’t let you go until you’ve uncovered all its layers.
Behind this coffee are small-scale farmers from the legendary Yirgacheffe region, an area synonymous with precision and purity of flavor. The cherries ripen at altitudes around 2,000 meters above sea level, where the cooler climate slows their development and allows for the unfolding of a rich aroma and complex structure. Processing is handled by the Banko Gotiti station, which combines traditional methods with an emphasis on detail and quality. It is here that coffees are created that can inspire, surprise, and at the same time offer an authentic glimpse into the Ethiopian terroir.
The key to the resulting character is the washed processing method, which gives this coffee its typical clarity and distinctiveness. After harvest, the cherries are de-pulped and fermented in water, removing the remnants of the sweet layer and highlighting the natural acidity and delicacy. Subsequent drying on African beds takes place slowly and under controlled conditions, which helps preserve the balance and elegance in every bean. In the cup, you’ll get a clean, balanced, and precise flavor experience that anyone who refuses to compromise and is looking for a coffee they’ll want to return to will appreciate.
