Blind Assessment
Evaluated in brew bag format with a steeping time of 5 minutes in 8 ounces of water. Bright, deeply fruity. Dried plum, cocoa nib, mandarin zest, freesia, oak in aroma and cup. Sweetly tart structure with crisp, citrusy acidity; very viscous, syrupy mouthfeel. Pleasing long finish consolidates to notes of dried plumand cocoa nib.
Notes
Southern Ethiopia coffees like this one are largely produced from traditional Ethiopian landrace varieties of Arabica long grown in the region. Processed by the natural anaerobic method, wherein whole fruit is fermented with limited oxygen before drying. Packaged in brew bag format by Steeped Coffee. 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 fruit-driven anaerobic-processed Ethiopia brew bag that’s coherent, rich, and complex.
