Blind Assessment
Crisply chocolaty, floral-toned. Baking chocolate, honeysuckle, dried persimmon, almond nougat, fresh-cut oak in aroma and cup. Richly sweet structure with gentle, round acidity; plush, buttery mouthfeel. Chocolaty and floral finish with undertones of almond.
Notes
Produced by sisters Hirut (Beti) and Mahder Birhanu, from trees of the Kurume, Wolisho, Dega and other indigenous selections varieties of Arabica, and processed by the traditional washed method (fruit skin and flesh are removed from the beans before they are dried) at their washing station, Dumerso. Imported by Catalyst Trade. Sightseer, a queer-owned coffee company that works exclusively with women-farmed coffees, was founded by Sara Gibson and Kimberly Zash around the values of feminism, sustainability and social impact, as well as delicious coffee.
