Blind Assessment
A quiet but distinctive Ethiopia wet-processed profile. Distinct orange blossom and honeyed orange notes in the aroma, with hints of nut and caramel. In the cup delicate, balanced acidity, silky mouthfeel, continued honeyed orange and orange blossom with a balancing, slightly pungent nut note, walnut perhaps. Sweet, flavor saturated finish. The cup stiffens and simplifies slightly as it cools.
Notes
Yirgacheffe is a coffee region in southern Ethiopia that produces intensely floral- and fruit-toned coffees from traditional varieties of Arabica long grown in the region. Yirgacheffe coffees like this one processed by the wet or washed method (fruit skin and pulp is removed before drying) express floral and citrus notes with particular intensity. Certified organically grown and Fair-Trade, meaning coffee purchased from small-holding farmers at a "fair" or economically sustainable price. Doma Coffee Roasting specializes in organic and Fair-Trade certified coffees and takes pride in a rigorous program of recycling and environmentally responsible practices. The Doma slogan is "Coffee/Culture/Meaning." Visit www.domacoffee.com or call 208-773-0066 for more information.
Who Should Drink It
Solid social and environmental credentials for a quiet, relatively deep-toned rendition of the floral and citrus Yirgacheffe profile.
