Blind Assessment
High-toned and sweet aroma, lemon, flowers and menthol with an underlying hint of gently pungent cocoa. Bright and light-bodied in the cup, with continued giddily floral and lemon-toned top notes dominating crisp cocoa mid-tones. Settles into a smoothly rich finish with the quiet cocoa notes finally prevailing.
Notes
Its tendency to high-toned floral and citrus sweetness has made Yirgacheffe, from a lush range of hills in southern Ethiopia, one of the world's most distinctive coffees. JBC Coffee Roasters (formerly Johnson Brothers Coffee Roasters) is a distinguished small-batch roasting company. Visit www.jbccoffeeroasters.com or call 608-256-5282 for more information.
Who Should Drink It
Lovers of the classic Yirgacheffe profile, an always amazing contrast of dizzily fragrant top notes and pungent heart.
