Coffee of the Month – January
Bean North’s newest coffee of the Month is a special and unique unwashed coffee from Ethiopia. This coffee is fermented with the cherry fruit still on the bean, and this process develops a distinctively fruity and sweet aroma. It has a creamy body, excellent balance of flavour and a long lasting aftertaste. You are not going to want to miss this chance of having a special brew in your cup!
