Blind Assessment

High-toned, crisply sweet. Lemon blossom, apricot, frankincense, spearmint, roasted cacao nib in aroma and cup. Balanced, complete sweet-savory structure; satiny, full mouthfeel. Sweet spearmint notes carry the cocoa-toned finish, with hints of lemon blossom and apricot.

Bottom Line

An inviting wet-processed Ethiopia cup. Invokes a walk through a citrus orchard in spring, with a bonus of sweet herb and cocoa tones.
