Blind Assessment
Delicately citrus- and floral-toned. Bergamot, star jasmine, lemon verbena, cocoa nib, sandalwood in aroma and cup. Sweet-tart structure with bright, vibrant acidity; lively, silky mouthfeel. Finish consolidates to notes of cocoa nib and star jasmine.
Notes
Produced by smallholding farmers around the Gogogu washing station largely from trees of landrace Ethiopia varieties of Arabica, and processed by the washed method (whole fruit is fermented with limited oxygen before drying). Big Shoulders Coffee is a Chicago artisan roaster that emphasizes a fresh-roasted, no-nonsense approach to fine coffee. Visit www.bigshoulderscoffee.com or call 312-846-1439 for more information.
Bottom Line
An elegant, graceful washed Ethiopia cup, both delicate and confident.
