Blind Assessment
High-toned, giddy and bright: lavender, lime zest, baker's chocolate in aroma and cup. Crisply sweet-toned acidity; silky mouthfeel. The lime notes turn ripely sweet in the flavor-saturated finish.
Notes
The Kochere District adjoins the Yirgacheffe coffee growing region in southern Ethiopia, famous for its distinctively floral- and fruit-toned coffees from traditional varieties of Arabica long grown in the region. Yirgacheffe-style 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. Kuma Coffee is a small Seattle, Washington based roaster that believes that coffee fosters relationships. Visit www.kumacoffee.com or call 206-384-6092 for more information.
Who Should Drink It
This dramatic expression of the citrus and floral Ethiopia cup should please those who enjoy spicy, complex dry white table wines.
