Blind Assessment
Richly chocolaty, deeply fruity. Huckleberry, dark chocolate, pink peppercorn, amber, candied tangerine zest in aroma and cup. Juicy, balanced acidity; plush, syrupy-smooth mouthfeel. Flavor-saturated finish that carries over all the aroma and flavor notes from the cup into the long.
Notes
Produced by Ato and Daniel Mijane, from trees of local heirloom varieties of Arabica, and processed by the natural anaerobic method, in which whole fruit is fermented with limited oxygen before drying. Established in 2010, Red Rooster is an organic-certified micro-roaster focusing on socially conscious, high-quality coffee. Visit redroostercoffee.com or call 540-745-7338 for more information.
Bottom Line
A brilliantly structured anaerobic natural Ethiopia that’s paradoxically bold and delicate, with mesmerizing aromatics and focused fruit throughout.
