Blind Assessment

Delicately tart, sweetly herbaceous. Baking chocolate, red grape, lemon verbena, cedar, cane sugar in aroma and cup. Crisply sweet-tart with brisk acidity; syrupy-smooth mouthfeel. The sweetly herbaceous finish centers around notes of lemon verbena and cane sugar with cedar undertones.

Notes

Produced by smallholding farmers under the direction of longtime Guji coffee farmer and mill manager Kedir Hassan from local heirloom varieties of Arabica, and processed by the traditional washed method (fruit skin and flesh are removed from the beans before they are dried). Cimarron Coffee Roasters is a micro-roaster on the Western Slope of Colorado that aims to offer sweet, clean, affordable and sustainable coffee. Roast profiles are developed for each coffee to highlight the inherently distinctive properties of each lot. Shipping is included in the coffee price.

Bottom Line

A familiar, comforting washed-process Ethiopia cup enlivened by delicate cocoa, fruit and sweet herb notes throughout the profile.
