Blind Assessment
High-toned, elegant, balanced. Apricot, almond butter, bergamot, cedar, cocoa nib in aroma and cup. Delicately sweet structure with juicy-bright acidity; very syrupy, lively mouthfeel. Cocoa-toned finish supported by notes of apricot and almond.
Notes
Produced by the Hassen family at their estate farm in the Guji Zone from distinctive landrace varieties of Arabica long grown in the region and processed by the washed method (fruit skin and flesh are removed from the beans before they are dried). Certified USDA organic. Founded in 1990, Roadmap CoffeeWorks, formerly Lexington Coffee Roasters, is an award-winning artisan roasting company based in Lexington, Virginia. Roadmap CoffeeWorks focuses on producing fresh, distinctive and sustainable coffees. Visit www.roadmapcoffeeworks.com or call 800-322-6505 for more information.
Bottom Line
A classic washed Ethiopia cup: complex, rich, energetic, bright (and certified organic).
