Blind Assessment

Brightly fruit-toned, deeply sweet-tart. Pomegranate, jasmine, honey, cedar, pink grapefruit zest in aroma and cup. Sweetly tart structure with brisk acidity; full, creamy mouthfeel. Finish consolidates to notes of jasmine, honey and grapefruit.

Notes

Southern Ethiopia coffees like this one are largely produced from distinctive indigenous Ethiopian varieties of Arabica long grown in the region. 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 washed coffees. Indaba Coffee is a small family-owned business in the heart of Spokane, Washington whose mission is “radical hospitality.” Visit www.indabacoffee.com for more information.

Bottom Line

A cleanly fruit-forward natural-process Ethiopia cup with a particularly full yet lively mouthfeel.
