Blind Assessment
Delicate, very sweet, complexly floral-toned. Honey, lavender, freesia, roasted cacao nib, lemon drop in aroma and cup. Crisp, vivacious acidity; light, very silky mouthfeel.
Notes
Yirgacheffe is a coffee region in southern Ethiopia that produces distinctively floral- and fruit-toned 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 is removed before drying) typically express great aromatic complexity and intensity with a particular emphasis on citrus and floral notes. This coffee is certified organically grown and Fair Trade, meaning it was purchased from small-holding farmers at a “fair” or economically sustainable price. 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.

Who Should Drink It
A very pure and accessible rendition of the delicate, precious floral and sweet citrus Yirgacheffe cup.
