Blind Assessment
The medium-dark but rather aggressive roast preserves a touch of acidity and lemony sweetness amid the dominant roasty tones. More complex than balanced, the closest sensory analogy I can propose is roasted lemon drops.
Notes
Yirgacheffe is the most lavishly fruity and floral of the several fruity and floral wet-processed regional origins in southern and western Ethiopia. Torreo is a quality oriented, mainly wholesale specialty roaster serving the larger Philadelphia area. Visit
Who Should Drink It
A versatile coffee, with its Yirgacheffe lemon tones and a hint of acidity shimmering in the distinct roast tones.
