Blind Assessment

Delicately bright, balanced, multi-layered. Apricot, Meyer lemon, rhododendron, cocoa nib, marjoram in aroma and cup. Juicy-sweet, citrusy acidity; crisp, lightly satiny mouthfeel. Long, resonant, flavor-saturated finish.

Notes

Produced by smallholding farmers in the Bensa District of the Sidamo Zone, from selections of landrace varieties of Arabica native to Ethiopia, and processed by the traditional washed method (fruit skin and pulp removed before drying). Based in Livingston, Montana, RamsHead Coffee Roasters is a family-owned company that specializes in direct trade microlot coffees. For more information, visit www.ramsheadcoffee.com.

Bottom Line

An appealing washed Ethiopia that’s quietly confident, wide-ranging and delicately precise — those who love cleanly communicated stone fruit and citrus notes will have a winner in this cup.
