Lilac Dream

Lilac Dream is one of our most delicate coffees. It has a tea-like texture,  stone fruit sweetness, underlying florals and orange juiciness. These will mostly be washed coffees from East Africa, but expect a few surprises from other countries that offer this flavour profile.

Sourced from East Africa, Lilac Dream is a washed coffee offered by Phil & Sebastian Coffee Roasters. This specific lot highlights the clean, bright profile often associated with the region’s traditional preparation methods. By utilizing the processing methods typical of washed coffees, the producers have emphasized a clarity that allows the inherent characteristics of the bean to shine through.

In the cup, drinkers can expect a profile defined by stone fruit sweetness, subtle underlying florals, and a distinct orange juiciness. These descriptors align with the broader spectrum of bright, acidic profiles often explored when using a flavor wheel to evaluate high-quality East African origins. While washed coffees are frequently celebrated for their crisp acidity and refined finish, this selection provides a balanced experience that showcases the delicate interplay between fruit-forward sweetness and floral aromatics. It serves as a refined example of how careful processing can elevate the nuanced qualities of a regional harvest.
