Blind Assessment
Delicately sweet-tart, fruit-forward. Jolly Rancher, Meyer lemon, spearmint, sugarcane, rose hips in aroma and cup. Gently brisk, sweet-toned acidity; very full, syrupy-smooth mouthfeel. Crisp, fruity finish, sweet and citrusy.
Notes
Produced by smallholding farmers, from trees of local landrace varieties of Arabica, and processed at the Biru Bekele Washing Station by the natural method with the addition of a proprietary yeast mixture with which the coffee is fermented for 96 hours, then dried in the whole fruit. Founded in 1994, Coffee By Design is a specialty coffee roaster in Portland, Maine that also operates three coffee shops in Portland. For more information, visit www.coffeebydesign.com.
Bottom Line
A pretty Ethiopia natural fermented with a yeast mixture that amplifies gentle, sweet-tart fruit notes alongside sweet herbs.
