Upon putting a cup of coffee up to your lips, there’s a certain anticipation of what the flavor will be like. Personally, I always assume a bitter taste, leaving your mouth feeling tangy and astringent. This changed for me while visiting Olympia Coffee Roasters. They have an Ethiopian heirloom variety called Banko Natural, this was the first time I’ve had a coffee that doesn’t taste like coffee. As the liquid entered my mouth, the strong sensation of a sweet berry overwhelmed my senses. All I could think about while drinking this unique variety was blueberry pomegranate flavored drinks with a slightly smoky chocolate under tone. The mixture of berry sweet and rich smoothness of chocolate coffee creates a beautiful balance and quite the unforgettable flavor.
