Blind Assessment
Intense aroma and flavor: brandy, blueberry, dark chocolate, fresh-cut fir. Gently bright acidity; silky mouthfeel. The sweet-toned cup develops a savory edge as it cools, which carries into a complexly dry, chocolaty finish.
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. It is a dry-processed or "natural" coffee, meaning the beans were dried inside the fruit rather than after the fruit has been removed, as is the case with wet-processed or "washed" coffees. JBC Coffee Roasters (formerly Johnson Brothers Coffee Roasters) is a distinguished small-batch roasting company. Visit www.jbccoffeeroasters.com or call 608-256-5282 for more information.
Who Should Drink It
Those who favor fruit-forward red wines with lots of oak may be particularly well-suited candidates for this engaging, rather muscular and complex version of the Ethiopia dried-in-the-fruit cup, one that comes with reassuring environmental and social credentials.
