Blind Assessment

Bright, richly sweet. Jasmine, guava, pine nut, maple syrup, Nutella in aroma and cup. Sweet-toned structure with crisp, citrusy acidity; velvety-smooth mouthfeel. Floral-toned in the short finish, chocolaty in the long.

Notes

This coffee tied for the fourth-highest rating in a cupping of coffees from New England roasters for Coffee Review’s February 2019 tasting report. Coffees like this one produced in the celebrated Yirgacheffe region are produced from traditional, largely indigenous 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). Yirgacheffe coffees processed with this method typically express great aromatic complexity and intensity, with a particular emphasis on floral notes. Speedwell Coffee, based in Plymouth, Massachusetts, is a wholesale and retail coffee roaster that also offers coffee subscriptions. For more information, visit www.speedwellcoffee.com.

Bottom Line

A floral- and tropical fruit-toned wet-processed Ethiopia cup.
