The name Le Cure is a playful blend of French and English. “Le” represents the French-Canadian roots of DAK’s founders, while “Cure” sounds like “Liquor,” adding a fun twist. It’s a versatile name, perfect for this rotating collection of unique coffees. Carefully selected by DAK and Eight Ounce, roasted by DAK, and offered only through Eight Ounce, this collection will feature a new coffee every 6 months, bringing you fresh, seasonal flavours. This project reflects our passion for high-quality coffee and our strong friendship with DAK, with the box design reflecting this unique bond. The second Le Cure coffee is First Blush, an Heirloom coffee from Guji, Ethiopia, sourced from the Diima Siko washing station in the Siko village of Uraga, which is renowned for producing high-scoring lots. This Natural-processed coffee delivers an intense, fruity, and floral profile. With notes of white flowers, raspberry cream, and red plum, this coffee is bright, unique, and delicately sweet. A perfect balance of freshness and flavour. You can only get First Blush through Eight Ounce. We’re excited to share this special offering with you!

Beautiful, clean, and delicate.

I’m really, really enjoying this. Another winner. Firstly, I cannot believe this is a natural Ethiopian. It’s incredibly clean and almost soft Kenyan-like, in my opinion. I’m also surprised this is listed as a medium-light roast. It seems *very* light to me. I highly recommend brewing this one with a higher extraction recipe. After a very underwhelming first brew using a 1:16, 94°C recipe, I found great success bumping up the extraction using a 1:18, 98°C and going a bit finer with my grind than usual. It’s really pops. Really soft raspberry-like acidity, delicate florals, and a smooth yet tea-like body that is so enjoyable. Be aware these beans seem to create a lot of fines; even more than most washed Ethiopians. Because of this, I ended up having some really long draw down times. This did not affect the brew negatively. In fact, the opposite. The longer draw-downs made this coffee better!
