Iced americano with Era Ethiopia Guji Hambela espresso over ice

The iced americano is the region's true daily driver, and the most transparent drink on this page: nothing but espresso, water, and ice, so the bean does all the talking. This is the drink to order your Guji Hambela for.

Ingredients

Double espresso36–40g
Cold water100–120ml
Iceto fill

Method

Fill a glass with ice and pour in the cold water.
Pull the double shot.
Pour the espresso over the top so the crema settles on the surface, and stir once before drinking.

NotesWater first, espresso last keeps the crema layer intact. Guji Hambela's citrus and florals are built for this drink; a washed Ethiopian over ice is its own argument.
