Blind Assessment

Delicate, fruit-forward. Dried raspberry, lilac, dark chocolate, peppermint, oak in aroma and cup. Rich-toned, juicy acidity; lightly satiny mouthfeel. The clean, lightly resonant finish leads with dark chocolate and lilac notes in the short, resolving with a re-emergence of a sweetly spicy peppermint in the long.

Notes

Most Yirgacheffe coffee is prepared by the conventional wet method, in which the skin and pulp are removed from the beans or seeds before they are dried, encouraging a cleanly high-toned, often intensely floral- and citrus-toned cup. This Yirgacheffe is a “natural” or dry-processed version, however, meaning the beans/seeds were dried inside the fruit, encouraging a deeper-toned floral and fruit character. Like virtually all Ethiopia coffees, this coffee is produced by villagers on small, garden plots interplanted with food and other subsistence crops. Chocolate Fish is a distinguished New-Zealand-inspired micro-roaster based in Sacramento California, focused on the best in both quality and integrity.Visit www.chocolatefishcoffee.com or call 916-451-5181 for more information.

Bottom Line

A delicate, harmonious, berry-toned natural-processed Yirgacheffe coffee.
