1872 beans

Bright, zesty and refreshing — lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit and aromatic bergamot or yuzu lifting and energising the whole cup.

Citrus coffees sparkle with zest: sharp lemon and lime, sweet orange and tangerine, the bittersweet edge of grapefruit, and the perfume of bergamot and yuzu. This lively acidity is the signature of washed African coffees, especially from Ethiopia and Kenya, and of high-grown lots generally. Drinkers chase citrus coffee for its energy and clarity — a clean, mouth-watering brightness that makes a cup feel vivid and alive.
