Blind Assessment

Sweetly high-toned, fruit-forward, richly aromatic. Tangerine, Jolly Rancher, dark chocolate, wild honey, narcissus in aroma and cup. Sweet-tart structure with juicy, vibrant acidity; viscous, syrupy mouthfeel. The very long finish leads with notes of dark chocolate and Jolly Rancher in the short, rounding to narcissus and honey in the long.

Notes

Produced by Israel Degfa from local Ethiopia varieties of Arabica and processed by the natural method (dried in the whole fruit) at the producer’s namesake washing station. Big Shoulders Coffee is a Chicago artisan roaster that emphasizes a fresh-roasted, no-nonsense approach to fine coffee. Visit www.bigshoulderscoffee.com or call 312-846-1439 for more information.

Bottom Line

A superb, nectar-like natural-processed Ethiopia displaying intense candy- and floral-toned aromatics.
