Blind Assessment

Gently and sweetly pungent aroma: butter, cedar, orange, hints of flowers and chocolate. In the cup rich red-wine-toned acidity, silky mouthfeel, deep and balanced structure with a cherryish fruit and a continued hint of chocolate. Simple, rich, sweet finish.

Notes

Most coffee from Ethiopia's Yirgacheffe region is prepared by removing the fruit from the beans or seeds before they are dried (wet-processing), producing a cleanly high-toned, often intensely floral- and citrus-toned cup. This Yirgacheffe appears to be a "natural" or dry-processed version, however, meaning the beans/seeds were dried inside the fruit, producing a flavor profile that is lower-toned with a deeper, wine-and berry-like fruit. Paradise Roasters prides itself on roasting and shipping coffee only after orders are placed. Its metaphoric mission is to bring some paradisiacal warmth from the coffee-growing south to the cool environs of Minnesota. Visit www.paradiseroasters.com or call 763-433-0626 for more information.
