From the roaster

Flavor notes of smooth dark chocolate adorned with the sweet, flavorful essence of berries and a hint of orange enhances this fusion of two Ethiopian coffees. Pink Lady brings a welcomed brightness to your espresso, pour over, or coffee maker. Though complex enough to be enjoyed alone, Pink Lady is perfectly suitable in milk-based beverages like lattes and cappuccinos. 

Adorning our original cafe, the vintage paint-by-number rendition of the classic, eighteenth-century portrait, Pink Lady is sophisticated and welcoming, perfectly representing who we are at Methodical.

This is a coffee that will stand the test of time, withstand the scrutiny of all who taste it, and continue to do right by not only its origins—but its namesake.

Context

The Pink Lady, sourced from Ethiopia and roasted by Dayglow, offers a profile defined by dark chocolate, berries, and orange. Coffees from this region are frequently celebrated for their complex acidity and aromatic depth, often serving as a benchmark for quality in the specialty industry. When evaluating such distinct flavor profiles, it is helpful to reference the flavor wheel to better categorize the interplay between the deep, cocoa-toned base notes and the brighter, fruit-forward characteristics present in the cup.

While general expectations for Ethiopian coffees often lean toward floral or citrus-heavy profiles, the specific combination of dark chocolate and berry notes in this lot provides a grounded, resonant experience. Understanding these sensory markers allows for a more nuanced appreciation of how roasting techniques can highlight the inherent qualities of the bean. Whether enjoyed as a pour-over or espresso, this selection invites a thoughtful exploration of its layered, vibrant structure.
