Blind Assessment

Vastly rich, fruit-forward. Blueberry, cedar, candied grapefruit zest, violet-like flowers, pink peppercorn in aroma and cup. Vibrant, lightly juicy acidity; plush, syrupy mouthfeel. The crisp, sweetly tart finish consolidates to a cedar-toned grapefruit zest with a hint of pink peppercorn.

Notes

Southern Ethiopia coffees like this one are produced from distinctive traditional Ethiopian varieties of Arabica long grown in the region. Like virtually all southern Ethiopia coffees, this coffee is produced by villagers on small garden plots interplanted with food and other subsistence crops. This 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. Lone Oak Coffee Company’s seven values — relationships, family, community, integrity, quality, education, and responsibility — inform its decisions about coffee from bean to cup.

Bottom Line

A sweetly fruit-toned, spicy-tart Ethiopia cup.
