Blind Assessment
Big, sweetly pungent, complex. Brown sugar, dark chocolate, walnut, narcissus-like flowers, savory hints of mango and musk in aroma and cup. Rich, resonant acidity; lightly syrupy mouthfeel. Deeply flavor-saturated finish, drying but long and sweet.
Notes
Yirgacheffe is a coffee region in southern Ethiopia that produces distinctive coffees from traditional varieties of Arabica long grown in the region. Yirgacheffe coffees like this one processed by the wet or washed method (fruit skin and pulp are removed before drying) typically express great aromatic complexity and intensity with a particular emphasis on floral notes. Like virtually all Ethiopia coffees, this coffee is produced by villagers on small, garden plots interplanted with food and other subsistence crops. Flight Coffee Co. (formerly CQ Coffee Roasters) is a coffee-loving, quality-focused roasting company based in Bedford, New Hampshire.Visit www.flightcoffeeco.com or call 603-836-6228 for more information.
Who Should Drink It
An unusually deep and resonantly authoritative version of the Yirgacheffe cup; the flowers are still there, but they show an almost carnal richness.
