Blind Assessment
Complex, fruity and spice-toned. Sugared grapefruit, saffron, jasmine and cocoa nib in aroma and cup. Buoyant, expansive acidity; silky-smooth mouthfeel. Spice notes of saffron and clove carry through the quietly resonant finish.
Notes
Sidamo (also Sidama) is a coffee-growing region in southern Ethiopia that produces distinctive coffees from traditional varieties of Arabica long grown in the region. This is a spectacularly fruit-toned though unusually refined example of a dry-processed or “natural” coffee, 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. Dragonfly Coffee is a Boulder, Colorado-based micro-roaster that produces high-quality coffees and supports worthy causes.
