Blind Assessment
Fruit-driven, deeply sweet. Dried raspberry, dark chocolate, wisteria, wild honey, a hint of wine barrel in aroma and cup. Sweetly tart, high-toned acidity; full, syrupy mouthfeel. The finish centers around notes of raspberry and wisteria with a continuing hint of wine barrel.
Notes
Produced by smallholding farmers, from traditional varieties of Arabica long grown in the region, and processed by the natural method (dried in the whole fruit). JBC Coffee Roasters’ vision is simple: “let the coffee lead the way” through sourcing and roasting the best and most unique coffees available and rewarding the farmers who grow those coffees with substantial premiums.

Bottom Line
An elegant, sweetly fermenty Ethiopia natural with leading notes of dried berries and dark chocolate. A throughline of red-wine barrel contributes complexity and depth.
