Blind Assessment
Balanced, multi-layered. Freesia, blueberry, dark chocolate, cedar, amber in aroma and cup. Sweet-tart structure with winy acidity; buoyant, satiny mouthfeel. The finish consolidates to notes of dark chocolate and blueberry.
Notes
Produced by smallholding farmers near the Abraham Mengiste Washing Station, from trees of local heirloom varieties of Arabica, and processed by the natural method (dried in the whole fruit). Coffee Please is an artisanal roastery and cafe in Taipei’s Beitou District, famous for its proximity to the Yangming Mountain hot springs. Visit www.facebook.com/CoffeepleaseTW for more information.
Bottom Line
A vibrant, cleanly natural-processed Ethiopia with distinct blueberry and dark chocolate notes, complicated by resiny aromatic amber.
