Blind Assessment

Expansively floral, subtly intricate. Honey, rose-like flowers, peach, almond, sweet lime zest in aroma and cup. Brisk but juicy acidity; light-footed, velvety mouthfeel. Rich, flavor-saturated short finish; sweetly drying in the long.

Notes

Southern Ethiopia produces distinctive coffees from traditional varieties of Arabica long grown in the region. This lot was processed by the wet or washed method (fruit skin and pulp are removed before drying). Southern Ethiopia coffees processed with this method typically express great aromatic complexity and intensity, with a particular emphasis on floral notes. Daktari Coffee was founded by Dr. Bob Arnot, who has been involved in East Africa for over 45 years as a physician, humanitarian and journalist and has embraced coffee as a sustainable means of development. Daktari uses sophisticated analytical chemistry to identify roast profiles aimed at retaining compounds assumed to be most health-enhancing in each coffee.

Bottom Line

A classic wet-processed Ethiopia: crisp, brisk, yet lyrically sweet and floral.
