What Wave Coffee Roasters says about this coffee

Lalesa Black Honey comes from the Lalesa area of Gedeb, Ethiopia, grown above 2200 m.a.s.l. from 74110, 74112 and heirloom varieties. In black honey processing, most of the sticky fruit mucilage stays on the bean during a slow drying, which adds intense sweetness and body.

In the cup: violets, strawberry, dark honey and lemonade, with very high sweetness and a full body. An expressive, rare Ethiopian process for filter brewing.

How to brew

Filter: 15 g of coffee to 250 g of water (1:16) at 92–94 °C; total brew time around 2:45–3:15 on V60, Kalita or AeroPress.

Single-origin specialty Arabica, roasted by Wave Coffee Roasters in Portugal.

We report what the roaster publishes and we have not checked any of it independently. A fact nobody publishes is not a fault of the coffee: almost no roaster in the UK states an importer or the price paid to the producer.

How it sits among coffee from Ethiopia

Wave Coffee Roasters describe this coffee as fruity, caramel and sweet, citrus, floral. The filled shape is how often roasters use each family across coffee from Ethiopia; the rings on the rim are this coffee’s own.

Every family the roaster names is a common one for coffee from Ethiopia, so this reads as a typical example rather than an outlier.

Recyclable packaging

“New mono-material packaging that is fully recyclable As part of this development, we are transitioning to new coffee packaging made from mono-material and fully recyclable.” their page (opens in a new tab)

These are claims the roaster makes about its business, not about this coffee, and we have not checked them against any register.

Where each fact came from

A further 3 facts on this page were read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for them.

Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
