Blind Assessment
Vibrantly sweet, gently fermenty. Lime zest, tea rose, cocoa nib, sandalwood, a hint of aged Tequila in aroma and cup. Brightly sweet with high-toned acidity; plush, syrupy mouthfeel. In the finish crisp cocoa nib balances the fruit.

Certified USDA Organic. Produced by 1,000 smallholding farmers organized around the Testi Ayla washing station, and processed by the anaerobic natural method (fermented in the whole fruit in an oxygen-free vessel). SkyTop Coffee is a USDA certified-organic specialty coffee roaster based in Manlius, New York. For more information, visit skytopcoffee.com.
Bottom Line
A pungent, multi-layered anaerobically processed Ethiopia cup offering a particularly wide range of aroma and flavor notes.
