Blind Assessment
Deep-toned, sweetly citrusy. Pomelo, cantaloupe, cocoa nib, lemon-thyme, caramel in aroma and cup. Gently bright acidity; crisp, satiny mouthfeel. The finish consolidates to pretty notes of lemon-thyme and cantaloupe.
Notes
Produced by smallholding farmers, from selections of indigenous landrace varieties of Arabica long grown in the region, and processed at Tiluse Washing Station by the honey method (some fruit flesh is left on the beans during the drying process). Wonderstate Coffee, formerly Kickapoo Coffee, is an award-winning roaster based in rural Wisconsin known for its commitment to guaranteeing higher pay for farmers and operating the country’s first 100% solar-powered roastery.

Bottom Line
An understated, sweetly composed, citrus-toned Ethiopia honey-processed cup with cocoa notes throughout the profile.
