Blind Assessment

Evaluated as espresso. Floral-toned, sweetly brisk. Dark chocolate, raspberry, lilac-like flowers, incense-like cedar in aroma and small cup. Light, silky mouthfeel; richly drying, flavor-saturated finish. Briskly complex in three-parts milk: lilac, cedar, chocolate.

Notes

Southern Ethiopia coffees like this one are produced from traditional Ethiopian varieties of Arabica long grown in the region. This example was processed by the wet or washed method (fruit skin and pulp are removed before drying). Ethiopia coffees processed with this method typically express great aromatic complexity and intensity, with a particular emphasis on floral and cocoa notes. In addition to his retail roasting operation, Aroma Roast Coffees, Simon Hsieh also operates Soaring Phoenix Trading, a business focused on purposed-built commercial espresso blends and high quality single-origin coffees.
