Eungam / 응암

Eungam is Eungam Station, in the Eunpyeong district of Seoul. It is the name of the neighborhood where I lived for thirty-one years before coming to Sapporo — where I grew up, and the starting point of everything. The sound of the name makes people expect a dark roast, but this is a cup of bright citrus acidity: clear and awakening, like the morning light falling on familiar streets. The brightness of the place that made me, kept in a single cup.

Composition: Colombia + Tanzania AA + Kenya AA (all Washed)

Eungam is a blend built around bright acidity. People expect a dark roast from the name, but it is the opposite: a clean, City-roasted cup. Colombia's sweetness forms the base, with Tanzania AA and Kenya AA layered on top, all washed for a crisp, clear outline. Juicy citrus and berry acidity and a clean finish are what define it. Brightness to wake you up, even on a slow morning.
