Blind Assessment
Richly sweet, crisply floral. Magnolia, cashew, maple syrup, dried nectarine, myrrh in aroma and cup. Sweetly tart structure with bright, juicy acidity; silky-smooth mouthfeel. The crisp finish highlights notes of almond and myrrh.
Notes
Produced by Burkutan Wako, from indigenous Ethiopian landrace varieties of Arabica long grown in the region, and processed by the natural method (dried in the whole fruit). Small Eyes Café is a small, family-owned coffee shop in Yilan, Taiwan, specializing in artisanally roasted specialty coffee and homemade desserts.
