What's a Pour Over you ask? Think really good coffee and multiply it by 1000! The short version is: get the best coffee beans, grind them up, put it in a filter over a cup, and pour hot water over the coffee so that the goodness just drips slowly into the cup below. As the hot water is poured it actually causes the coffee grounds to billow up like a mini volcano of coffee deliciousness inside the filter.
For our Pour Overs Dallis Bros. gets the coffee from a relatively small village of Yirgacheffe, which sits in the lush southwestern province of Sidamo. In the mid 20th century, Central American techniques of washing the coffee pulp and skin off of the fruit of the coffee were introduced to the region. With this advancement in processing techniques, new flavor profiles were discovered as intrinsic to the coffees in the vicinity. These ‘Yirgacheffe’ coffees became famous throughout the coffee world for intense floral aromatics, honey - like sweetness, and distinct notes of citrus.
