Description

Black Magic

This Bensa coffee is our top recommendation for customers who prefer black coffee.

This excellent Ethiopia Bensa is naturally processed, which means the coffee has been sun-dried, intensely sweet, and complex with mind-blowing fruit yet so deliciously balanced.

Buy 1kg of 100% Arabica medium-roasted whole coffee beans.

It is a coffee with exceptional pedigree as a heirloom varietal from the birthplace of coffee, Ethiopia.

Clean with soft and complex acids, tropical fruit medley, boysenberry, syrupy body, and delicate chocolate and caramel in the finish.

We have only a limited supply of this delicious coffee, so grab it before it disappears.

It is perfect for black brews (no dairy), as the soft acids carry incredible sweetness while the deep body fills the palate and rounds out the cup with complexity.

For milk/dairy alternative brews, the acids cut through with exceptional clarity—sweet, fruity, and delicious.

Only available in 1kg bags.

UPDATE:

Ethiopia Bensa is currently out of stock.

At this time, there are no plans to re-stock.

Coffee prices are too high.

mycuppa uses a full cast iron coffee roaster for maximum flavor and sweetness

Why our coffees are different

Our custom SUPA-ROASTA is a one-of-a-kind, fully cast-iron platform using the most advanced computer controls for ultra-precise roasting of the best-tasting coffees.
These days, complete cast-iron roasting systems are extremely rare. Only cast-iron platforms can impart that highly desirable soft, moist heat into the coffee beans.
Would the best chefs and BBQ experts cook their culinary delights on Stainless, Alloy or Mild Steel or Air ?
Nope, neither would we.
mycuppa's SUPA-ROASTA creates coffees with smooth, rich, high-flavoured tastes, full and syrupy body, fine acidity and of course our trademark long, sweet finish.
Nothing compares.

how we roast your coffee

Roasting coffee is a precise science. These days, computer profiles perform most of the automated tasks for controlling a roast profile. However, through better quality control via tasting, testing and optimization, we can make a big difference to the finished product through setting special parameters.

mycuppa explains the delicate balance when roasting coffees for exceptional flavors
Whole bean coffee stays fresher for much longer than ground coffees

Ground coffee is poor value

Whole beans are the only way to enjoy freshly roasted coffee.

The moment coffee beans are ground, most of the essential, active compounds in ground coffee oxidize rapidly, losing vitality, aroma, flavour and body.

Ground coffee barely lasts 15 minutes; even sealed packs lose more than 80% of the critical essence in 2 weeks.

Unfortunately, once you open and close that pack, it's game over, and the ground coffee continues to stale at 20x the rate of whole beans inside of a sealed, unopened pack.

If you love coffee, please don't waste money buying pre-ground packs; you only get a small part of the wonderful coffee experience.

Buy a decent grinder and purchase whole beans; it makes a huge difference in aroma, flavour, and enjoyment.
