Mesgana

The unique combination of pure Ethiopian coffee beans ensures Mesgana delivers a rich and floral flavor – true to the Ethiopian tradition, yet bold in its presentation, uniting the many Ethiopian coffee varieties into an unrivaled, blended product line.

Characteristics/Preparation

• Flavor profile is the one preferred by many Canadian coffee drinkers
• Our experience is that up to one third (1/3) less coffee may be required for the same flavor as your usual coffee. This depends on the origin of the beans (Mesgana is a 50:50 blend of natural Yirgacheffe and washed Sidamo), the grind, etc.; you may have to experiment a little.
  
• This is my “daily drink” ground for pour-over (20 on a Baratza Encore grinder). I also like my coffee stronger than the Golden Mean of 1:18 coffee to water (by weight) recommended by the National Coffee Association; my ratio is 1:16 and I may go to 1:15)
  
• Mesgana makes a particularly rich cold brew coffee
  
• 250 gms, easy-open/easy-close bag with a degassing valve to maintain freshness in every coffee bean
