Blind Assessment
Richly sweet-savory, spice- and floral-toned. Dried apricot, tangerine zest, narcissus-like flowers, brown sugar, a hint of thyme in aroma and cup. In structure, sweetly tart and juicy with a savory depth; syrupy-smooth mouthfeel. Spicy florals carry the quietly flavor-saturated finish.
Notes
Yirgacheffe is a coffee region in southern Ethiopia that produces distinctive coffees from traditional landrace varieties of Arabica long grown in the region. This is a “natural” or dry-processed version, meaning the beans were dried inside the fruit, encouraging a flavor profile that is less predictable and deeper than the wet-processed floral- and citrus-toned Yirgacheffe profile. Quartet Kaffe is an artisan roastery in Taiwan founded in 2018, dedicated to pursuing coffee performance art and offering unique specialty coffee.

Bottom Line
A deep, sweetly savory, floral-toned natural-processed Ethiopia, complex and nuanced.
