Bonkers for Bonko

Bonko the clown? No, Bonko is Ethiopian Sidamo. On the ladder of coffee, this one is that final step to heaven. The tasting experts say this cup has a distinct brightness, surgary confectionery sweetness (not like, ugh, but like, yum). Bonko has a clear and light body, high tonal range, fennel notes. A piquant cup? Piquant is not a word I would have employed but the cup is something you want to stay with all day. Remarkably satisfying.
