Blind Assessment

Delicately aromatic, complex. Lilac, cocoa nib, pink grapefruit zest, shishito pepper, apricot in aroma and cup. Sweetly tart with juicy, bright acidity; plush, syrupy-smooth mouthfeel. Floral finish with cocoa undertones.

Notes

Ethiopia coffees like this one are largely produced largely from traditional indigenous landrace varieties of Arabica. Produced by smallholding members of the Nano Challa Cooperative and processed by the traditional washed method (fruit skin and pulp are removed before drying). Mostra Coffee is a women-, minority-, veteran-, and immigrant-owned micro-roaster based in north county San Diego. For more information, visit www.mostracoffee.com.

Bottom Line

A nuanced, multilayered washed Ethiopia cup with spicy floral notes at its center and a throughline of cocoa nib.
