{"product_id":"refisa-ethiopia-specialty-coffee-organic","title":"REFISA - Ethiopia Specialty Coffee (ORGANIC)","description":"\u003cp\u003eREFISA is a stunning example of why West Arsi is quickly becoming one of Ethiopia's most exciting coffee regions. Roasted by Miami's Panther Coffee, this organic, washed-process coffee comes from smallholder farmers surrounding the Refisa washing station in Nensebo, where volcanic soil, high elevation (1800-1900 meters), and meticulous processing create a cup that's simultaneously bright, soft, and intensely flavorful.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe coffee cherries are hand-sorted upon delivery, then fermented underwater for 48-72 hours before being washed, soaked, and dried on raised beds for 8-10 days. The result is a medium-light roast that showcases everything special about Ethiopian heirloom varieties and local cultivars—juicy stone fruit, vibrant citrus, and a silky body that lingers like honey on the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis coffee opens with pronounced \u003cstrong\u003enectarine and clementine\u003c\/strong\u003e on the nose, delivering exactly what it promises. The first sip brings a juicy, almost nectar-like sweetness with layers of stone fruit that taste like biting into a ripe peach at a farmers market. Mid-palate, \u003cstrong\u003ehoney\u003c\/strong\u003e sweetness emerges, coating the mouth with a soft, silky texture that feels luxurious without being heavy. The acidity is bright but not sharp—think citrus zest rather than lemon juice—and the finish is clean with a gentle floral note that invites the next sip. The body is medium with exceptional clarity, allowing each flavor to shine without crowding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eBrew Methods\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eREFISA's clarity and brightness make it exceptional as a \u003cstrong\u003epour over\u003c\/strong\u003e (V60 or Kalita Wave), where you can really appreciate the layered stone fruit and floral notes. It also performs beautifully in a \u003cstrong\u003eChemex\u003c\/strong\u003e for a clean, tea-like cup that highlights the nectarine sweetness. For \u003cstrong\u003eespresso\u003c\/strong\u003e, pull shorter ratios (1:2 to 1:2.5) to concentrate the honey sweetness while maintaining that silky texture—this coffee is forgiving and doesn't turn sour easily. \u003cstrong\u003eFrench press\u003c\/strong\u003e enthusiasts will enjoy the fuller body and amplified sweetness, though you'll sacrifice some of the delicate citrus brightness. We recommend water just off boil (200-205°F) and a medium-fine grind for pour over, slightly coarser for French press.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAbout Panther Coffee\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003ePanther Coffee has been a cornerstone of Miami's specialty coffee scene since 2010, known for their thoughtful sourcing and precise roasting that lets origin character shine through.
