Fellow's Take on Tandem Coffee Roasters Ethiopia Gure Kesso | Brew Recipe

Here's how we brewed this classic clean washed Ethiopia to brighten your morning, roasted by Tandem Coffee Roasters.

Based in Portland, Maine, Tandem was founded by a husband and wife passionate about cycling, vintage vinyl, and really good coffee. This coffee comes from the Telia Washing Station which is unique for carefully separating lots by village. We tasted orange citrus, vanilla, blueberry, and green tea.
