Blind Assessment

Intricately rich, tartly sweet. Lilac, wild strawberry, sandalwood, roasted cacao nib, grapefruit zest in aroma and cup. Crisply sweet, vibrant acidity; satiny-smooth mouthfeel. Aromatic sandalwood notes are amplified in the richly drying short finish, with a return of cacao nib and quietly spicy grapefruit zest in the resonant long.

Notes

From the Deri Kochoha mill in the Hagere Maryame District, a little south of the famous Yirgacheffe region, where coffees from local heirloom trees are subject to rigorous, traditional processing and drying procedures. “WP” is an abbreviation for wet-processing, indicating that this coffee has been subject to the traditional “washed” processing method in which the fruit residue is removed from the beans before drying, a method that typically intensifies acidity and aromatic top notes. 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

A coffee in which opposites are at play and in balance: sweet and tart, spicy and chocolaty.
