Blind Assessment

Vibrant, richly chocolaty. Baking chocolate, orange grapefruit zest, apricot, almond, lemon-thyme in aroma and cup. Sweet-tart structure with brisk acidity; full, velvety mouthfeel. Citrusy, chocolate-toned finish with undertones of sweet herbs.

Notes

Produced from indigenous Ethiopian landrace tree varieties long grown in the region and processed by the washed method (fruit skin and pulp are removed before drying). What began as a bike-powered mobile coffee shop born out of founder Chris O’Brien’s love of cycling now has a permanent home in San Diego, where he roasts and serves coffee to guests.

Bottom Line

A chocolaty, citrusy, sweetly herbaceous washed Ethiopia cup.
