Blind Assessment
Sweetly tart, fruit- and floral-toned. Apricot, jasmine, cocoa nib, nougat, hazelnut butter in aroma and cup. Sweet-tart structure with juicy, balanced acidity; plush, syrupy mouthfeel. The resonant, flavor-saturated finish carries over all the lovely aromatics from the cup.
Notes
Yirgacheffe coffees like this one are largely produced from traditional Ethiopian landrace varieties of Arabica long grown in the region. A wet-processed or “washed” version (fruit skin and pulp are removed before drying). Founded in 1990, Lexington Coffee is an award-winning artisan roasting company based in Virginia. Lexington’s focus on fresh, distinctive and sustainable coffee is reflected in its motto, “Fresh, Flavorful & Fair.” Visit www.lexingtoncoffee.com or call 800-322-6505 for more information.
Bottom Line
A bright, balanced, deep-toned Ethiopia cup carried by lyrical stone fruit and rich floral notes.
