Blind Assessment
Richly sweet, floral-toned. Magnolia, almond, maple syrup, plum, myrrh in aroma and cup. Sweetly tart structure, with bright, juicy acidity; delicate, silky mouthfeel. The richly drying finish centers around notes of almond and myrrh.
Notes
Produced by smallholding farmers around the Biru Bekele washing station, largely produced from distinctive indigenous Ethiopian landrace varieties of Arabica long grown in the region. Processed by the natural method (dried in the whole fruit). Cafe Kreyol is a roaster in Manassas, Virginia with the mission of creating sustainable employment by way of specialty coffee.
