Blind Assessment
The high-pitched fruit and vanilla tones in the aroma deepen to herbal wildness in the cup, then to hints of ferment in the finish. Sufficient body but not much dimension.
Notes
High-pitched fruit and vanilla in the aroma deepen to herbal wildness in the cup. Grade Sidamo dry-process, Grade 5
Who Should Drink It
People who prefer grappa to cognac; people who eat the worm in the mescal. Like many Ethiopian dry-processed coffees, this one brews a perilous line between fruity and fermented.
