Blind Assessment
: Anaerobic intrigue, gracefully balanced. Delicately tangy/tart, sweetly herb- and cocoa-toned. Clove, cocoa, tangerine zest, honey, orchid in aroma and cup. Lightly juicy and sweetly tart in structure; satiny in mouthfeel. The finish is cocoa-centered yet deeply and subtly nuanced.
Notes
Produced at Gatta Farm from traditional Ethiopia varieties of Arabica, and processed by the anaerobic natural method, in which whole fruit is fermented in tanks with limited oxygen before drying, also in the whole fruit. Olympia Coffee Roasting is a small-batch wholesale and retail roasting company with a youthful, no-nonsense style and a commitment to high-quality organic coffees.

Bottom Line
Impressive in its delicate completeness and balance. For those interested in exploring the deeply expressive yet subtler side of the anaerobic style.
