Blind Assessment
Richly sweet, with complex aromatics. Dried apricot, dark chocolate, lilac, pink grapefruit, amber in aroma and cup. Sweet-tart structure with brisk acidity; full, syrupy mouthfeel. Delicate finish leads with chocolate and apricot notes supported by amber.
Notes
Produced by smallholding farmers, entirely of local landrace varieties of Arabica, and processed by the yellow honey method, in which a small amount of fruit flesh is left on the beans during the drying process. Dou Zhai Coffee & Roastery is a Taiwan-based specialty coffee roaster and cafe. Visit www.douzhaicafe.com for more information.
Bottom Line
A nuanced, perfumed Ethiopia yellow honey with a pretty, lilac-like throughline supported by resiny undertones.
