Blind Assessment
Elegantly fruit-centered, richly aromatic. Plum confit, wild honey, frangipane, clove, lavender in aroma and cup. Complex, bittersweet structure with juicy acidity; very full, syrupy mouthfeel. Long, mesmerizing finish.
Notes
This exceptional coffee was selected as the No. 7 coffee on Coffee Review’s list of the Top 30 Coffees of 2024. Produced by smallholding farmers in the Bensa District of the Sidamo Zone, from selections of landrace varieties of Arabica native to Ethiopia, and processed by the natural method (dried in the whole fruit). Utopian Coffee is a specialty roaster based in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Visit www.utopiancoffee.com for more information.
Bottom Line
A lushly aromatic, flavor-saturated, elegant powerhouse — tantalizing on the nose and delivers in the cup.
