Blind Assessment

Delicately intricate, deeply sweet. Dried mulberry, jasmine, sandalwood, roasted cacao nib, lime zest in aroma and cup. Juicy, effervescent acidity; silky, levitating mouthfeel. The finish, crisply tart with sweet floral and cacao tones in the short, turns delicately resonant in the long with revived suggestions of mulberry and lime zest.

Notes

A “natural” or dry-processed coffee, meaning the beans were dried inside the fruit, encouraging a flavor profile that is lower-toned and more richly pungent than the more familiar wet-processed floral- and citrus-toned southern Ethiopia profile. Organically grown and meticulously prepared by Asnakech Thomas, Ethiopia’s only female miller/exporter. Chocolate Fish is a distinguished New-Zealand-inspired micro-roaster based in Sacramento California, focused on the best in both quality and integrity.Visit www.chocolatefishcoffee.com or call 916-451-5181 for more information.

Bottom Line

A complex and dazzling rendition of the dried-in-the-fruit Sidamo cup: fruit-forward with floral, aromatic wood, citrus and chocolate intrigue.
