Blind Assessment
Crisply sweet, citrusy. Orange zest, cocoa powder, hazelnut, oak, maple syrup in aroma and cup. Sweet-toned structure with brisk acidity; delicate, silky mouthfeel. The gently drying finish centers on notes of cocoa-toned orange and hazelnut.
Notes
Southern Ethiopia coffees like this one are largely produced from distinctive indigenous Ethiopian landrace varieties of Arabica long grown in their respective regions. This is a dry-processed or “natural” version, meaning the beans were dried inside the fruit rather than after the fruit has been removed, as is the case with wet-processed or “washed” coffees. Drink Coffee Do Stuff operates a roastery in Truckee, California and a coffee shop in nearby Incline Village, Nevada. Visit www.drinkcoffeedostuff.com for more information.
Bottom Line
A friendly, accessible natural Ethiopia cup, cleanly fruit- and cocoa-toned.
