Blind Assessment
Sweetly-fruit-forward. Just-picked blueberry, honeycomb, cashew butter, marjoram, baking chocolate in aroma and cup. Sweet-toned structure with pert acidity; pillowy, creamy-smooth mouthfeel. The finish is centered around notes of honey and cashew.
Notes
Produced in the distinguished Guji growing region, nestled next to Ethiopia's better-known Yirgacheffe and Sidamo regions, largely from distinctive indigenous landrace varieties of Arabica long grown in the region. Processed by the natural method (dried in the whole fruit). The Nomadic Bean is a one-woman show, owned and operated by roaster Margo Askins and based in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

Bottom Line
A natural-processed Ethiopia with an especially plush, inviting mouthfeel and distinct blueberry notes with crisp chocolate undertones.
