Blind Assessment
Delicate, richly sweet. Peach, hazelnut, pink peppercorn, cedar, a hint of thyme in aroma and cup. Crisply sweet acidity; satiny mouthfeel. The richly drying finish leads with notes of peach and pink peppercorn in the short, consolidating to hazelnut in the long, with a continued hint of thyme.
Notes
Southern Ethiopia coffees like this one are produced from traditional Ethiopian varieties of Arabica long grown in the region. This lot was processed by the wet or washed method (fruit skin and pulp are removed before drying). Ethiopia coffees processed with this method typically express great aromatic complexity and intensity, with a particular emphasis on floral notes.

Bottom Line
An attractive washed Yirgacheffe, peachy sweet and spicy-savory.
