Blind Assessment

Intense yet delicate; intricate. Star fruit and sweet strawberry, jasmine, sandalwood, roasted cacao nib in aroma and cup. Sweetly crisp acidity; light, silky mouthfeel. Flavor deeply saturates a resonantly sweet, gently drying finish.

Notes

Most Yirgacheffe coffee is prepared by the conventional wet method, in which the skin and pulp are removed from the beans or seeds before they are dried, encouraging a cleanly high-toned, often intensely floral- and citrus-toned cup. This Yirgacheffe is a “natural” or dry-processed version, however, meaning the beans/seeds were dried inside the fruit, encouraging a deeper-toned floral and fruit character. Like virtually all Ethiopia coffees, this striking and unusual coffee is produced by villagers on small, garden plots interplanted with food and other subsistence crops. Seasons is a micro-roaster of seasonal specialty coffee, selling its fine coffees online only. Visit www.seasonscoffee.us or call 916-905-7160 for more information.
