Blind Assessment

Brightly sweet-tart. Pomegranate, cedar, baking chocolate, freesia-like flowers, brown sugar in aroma and cup. Sweet-tart structure with pert acidity; crisp, velvety mouthfeel. The gently drying finish leads with notes of baking chocolate and freesia, rounding to cedar and brown sugar in the long.

Notes

Southern Ethiopia coffees like this one are largely produced from distinctive indigenous Ethiopian varieties of Arabica long grown in the region. This is a dry-processed or “natural” version, meaning the beans were dried inside the fruit rather than after the fruit has been removed, as is the case with wet-processed or “washed” coffees. Temple Coffee is a quality-focused retail and wholesale specialty roaster active in Sacramento, California since 2005. Committed to sourcing, roasting and brewing the finest coffees, Temple features coffee from distinguished single estates and cooperatives around the world.

Bottom Line

An engaging natural-processed Ethiopia cup with tart fruit and spice-toned flowers.
