Blind Assessment
Exhilaratingly bittersweet and complex. Floral notes ranging from sweet and vanilla to crisp lavender, roasted cocoa nib, orange zest in aroma and cup. Crisp, floral-toned acidity; light but lively, silky mouthfeel. Floral notes in particular carry into a drying but sweet-toned finish.

Who Should Drink It
A brisk, rather elegant bittersweet character makes this an unusual variation on the great Yirgacheffe profile.
