Apollo
Apollo is always Ethiopian, always washed, and Counter Culture roasts it medium. The notes read citrus, floral and silky. That's a lighter, cleaner profile than most medium roasts promise. It's organic and kosher, and the bag carries its roast date.
Pick it if you like a darker roast; silky sounds good to you; organic matters to you.
Best for Anyone moving from dark roasts toward something brighter
See Apollo →Ethiopia Faysel Abdosh
Citrus, floral and apple: a clean, bright set of notes from a washed Ethiopian landrace grown at 2,000 to 2,200 meters. Roasted medium-light and roasted to order. Grinds are sold for espresso, drip and pour-over, so it fits most kitchens.
Pick it if you like a lighter roast; apple sounds good to you.
Best for Pour-over and drip drinkers who want bright and floral
