Blind Assessment
Floral-driven, crisply bright. Narcissus, apricot, cocoa nib, tangerine zest, agave syrup in aroma and cup. Sweetly tart structure with brisk acidity; full, syrupy-smooth mouthfeel. The finish leads with notes of narcissus and apricot with undertones of cocoa nib.
Notes
Southern Ethiopia produces distinctive coffees from selections of indigenous, landrace varieties of Arabica long grown in the region. Coffees like this one, processed by the traditional wet or washed method (fruit skin and pulp is removed before drying), typically express great aromatic complexity and intensity. Uislandscafe is a roastery in Hsinchu City, Taiwan that offers high-quality specialty coffee. For more information, visit www.u-island.com or email [email protected].
