Blind Assessment
Smooth, delicately crisp, subtly distinctive. Lemony cocoa and dusk flowers in aroma and cup. Gently dry acidity; light, buoyant mouthfeel. The balanced, flavor-saturated finish fades with a long, slow, lovely trajectory.
Notes
This coffee is certified organically grown and Fair Trade certified, meaning it was purchased from small-holding farmers at a "fair" or economically sustainable price. Yirgacheffe is a coffee region in southern Ethiopia that produces distinctively floral- and fruit-toned coffees from traditional varieties of Arabica long grown in the region. Yirgacheffe coffees like this one processed by the wet or washed method (fruit skin and pulp is removed before drying) typically express great aromatic complexity and intensity with a particular emphasis on citrus and floral notes. Mystic Monk Coffee is a small-batch roaster associated with a Carmelite monastery located in the Rocky Mountains of northern Wyoming. Roastmaster Brother Java emphasizes his artisan approach to roasting and his commitment to quality. Visit
Who Should Drink It
An exquisitely balanced Yirgacheffe, free of lemon zest intensity or over-the-top flowers yet still distinctive and unmistakable in its Yirgacheffe character.
