Bishan Wate, grown at 2,200 meters along Ethiopia’s Wate River, is meticulously washed to showcase exceptional clarity and structure. A 96-point coffee—among the highest-rated reviewed in 2026—it opens with white peach and lime zest, layered with jasmine and honeysuckle florals, and finishes with refined cane sugar sweetness and soft cocoa. A vivid expression of high-elevation terroir and precise craftsmanship, this cup is vibrant, balanced, and truly unforgettable.
Super delicious. Used 1:18 ration on the fine grind +mellow dripper
About to order another 2lbs

So glad to have discovered Bear Lake Coffee!
I have bought 3 bags of coffee and all have been excellent. I only wish they had some kind of sampler so it wouldn’t take so long to try all their roasts. I only consume a bag every two weeks.

Review of my Second Bag
This is an absolutely fabulous Ethiopia and one of the best coffees from any origin I've had. Coffee Review's rating of 96 is undervalued in my estimation. It's at least a 97 or 98 and a bargain at this price! This second bag was as wonderful as the first. Many thanks to the folks at Bear Lake!

Excellent coffee!
I very much enjoyed this complex, full flavored coffee. Even my wife who rarely drinks coffee thought it is excellent. It's 96-point rating is well deserved, and I intend to order another bag.
