Blind Assessment
Bright, citrusy. Lime zest, cocoa nib, lychee, marjoram, freesia-like flowers in aroma and cup. Lively structure with crisp acidity; satiny, viscous mouthfeel. The finish consolidates to notes of lime zest and marjoram.
Notes
Southern Ethiopia coffees like this one are largely produced from distinctive landrace Ethiopian varieties of Arabica long grown in the region. This is a wet-processed or “washed” version, meaning the fruit skin and pulp were removed from the beans immediately after harvesting and before drying. JBC Coffee Roasters’ vision is simple: “let the coffee lead the way” through sourcing and roasting the best and most unique coffees available and rewarding the farmers who grow those coffees with substantial premiums.

Bottom Line
A delicately aromatic washed Guji cup framed by citrus and sweet herb with a cocoa throughline.
