Ethiopia Lekempti Medium Roast Coffee: profile and selection
The medium roast of Hemisphere Ethiopia Lekempti emphasizes floral character and balance. It is a washed coffee with a smooth profile, providing a useful comparison with the roaster’s nuttier dark version of the same named origin. The supplier identifies a sourcing relationship with Miriam Tesfai of Imperial Import and Export.
Farm, cultivar, elevation and harvest year are not specified.
This page preserves the documented roast, origin, process and tasting language without treating a regional name, grade or flavor note as evidence for missing facts. Current selections are Ground or whole bean; confirm the exact variant before ordering.

Brew for the documented roast and profile
For a first pour-over, weigh 17 g of coffee and use about 280 g water. Smell the freshly brewed cup and allow it to cool a little before judging its flavor. Keeping the first brew modest in size lets you try a second setting without using a large portion of the bag.
If the floral character seems hidden by an overly concentrated drink, dilute a small sample to see whether the balance improves. If it instead tastes thin or under-extracted, a modest grind adjustment may help more than dilution. Use the same coffee and water weights when testing that next grind setting.
For filter brewing, begin with 20 grams of coffee and 320 grams of filtered water around 198–202°F. Use a medium grind for whole beans, wet the grounds evenly and taste the cup at more than one temperature.
If the result is hollow or sharply sour, grind finer. If it becomes dry or bitter, move coarser. Hold dose and water constant during the first adjustment, then change brew ratio only after extraction feels balanced.
For immersion, try 30 grams to 500 grams with a medium-coarse grind and decant after about four minutes. Compare body and clarity across filtration methods. Whole-bean customers can use the Turin DF54 grinder for repeatable changes.
Freshness, package size and comparison
The listed package is 12 oz. This smaller format supports several controlled recipe tests without committing to a bulk bag. Use a scale for dose and water so the successful recipe can be repeated.
Seal the package after each use and store it away from heat, moisture, sunlight and strong aromas. Grind only the portion needed for the next brew when whole bean is selected. Ground coffee should be resealed promptly because it has more exposed surface area.
Degassing can change bloom and flow during the life of the bag. Use the roast date when supplied and make one small adjustment at a time. Record the grinder setting or the water change that produced the better cup.

Ordering and shipping
Coffee ships directly from the roaster partner. Roasted coffee does not qualify for free shipping; shipping charges are set by the partner. Coffee orders are not eligible for returns or cancellations, so confirm the bag size, grind, caffeine selection and flavor when applicable before ordering.
Review the exact variant shown in the cart before checkout. When the shipment arrives, retain the roaster label and record the selected format with the first brew. That detail makes recipe adjustments and reordering more reliable than relying on the product name alone.
