Blind Assessment

Elegant, high-toned, sweetly tart. Apricot nectar, almond butter, cocoa nib, bergamot, amber, lemon verbena in aroma and cup. Juicy, citrusy acidity; vibrant, silky-smooth mouthfeel. Long, resonantly sweet, invigoratingly tart finish that fulfills the promise of the cup.

Notes

Produced by smallholding farmers, entirely of landrace selections of Arabica long grown in the region, and processed by the traditional washed method (fruit skin and pulp removed before drying). Established in 2010, Red Rooster is an organic-certified micro-roaster focusing on socially conscious, high-quality coffee. Visit redroostercoffee.com or call 540-745-7338 for more information.  

Bottom Line

The epitome of classic Ethiopia: Stone fruit and cocoa nib serve as a base for complex citrus, sweet herb and rich nut tones — a very pretty, bright and juicy washed cup.
