Blind Assessment

Deep-toned, sweet-savory. Lychee, rose hips, sandalwood, dark chocolate, marjoram in aroma and cup. Sweet-savory structure with citrusy acidity; viscous, satiny mouthfeel. The resonant finish leads with lychee and rose hips, rounding to crisp chocolate and marjoram in the long.

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. Wonderstate Coffee, formerly Kickapoo Coffee, is an award-winning roaster based in rural Wisconsin known for its commitment to guaranteeing higher pay for farmers and being the country’s first 100% solar-powered roastery.

Bottom Line

A very balanced, clean natural-processed Ethiopia with a sweetly herb- and stone fruit-driven palate; exceptionally pretty, plush mouthfeel.
