Blind Assessment
Delicate, meadowy, complex, refreshing. Flowers and the pure taste of the coffee fruit – sweet, tart and slightly vegetal – dominate, with deeper, anchoring suggestions of molasses and pipe tobacco, the moist, fresh kind. Gentle acidity; very smooth, silky mouthfeel. Rich, flavor-saturated finish.
Notes
Certified organically grown and Fair Trade certified, meaning this coffee was purchased from small-holding farmers at a "fair" or economically sustainable price. As the name implies, Ethical Bean is a community-minded, environmentally-aware coffee roaster focused on certified Fair Trade and organic coffee. All bags are stamped with an “emark” that allows consumers to track the journey the coffee has taken. Visit
Who Should Drink It
An impressively pure coffee roasted to foreground its purity, as fresh as the lush hills of southern Ethiopia.
