Blind Assessment

Juicy, richly floral-toned. Lilac, cocoa nib, pink grapefruit zest, almond butter, fresh-cut oak in aroma and cup. Sweet-tart structure with bright, juicy acidity; crisply satiny mouthfeel. The engaging finish leads with notes of lilac and pink grapefruit zest, rounding to almond butter and oak in the long.

Notes

Produced by smallholding farmers largely from trees of indigenous landrace varieties of Arabica long grown in the region, and processed by the washed method (fruit skin and flesh are removed from the beans before they are dried). 1980 Cafe is a Tainan City, Taiwan-based specialty coffee roaster.

Bottom Line

A classic washed-process Ethiopia cup with especially vibrant acidity and spice-toned floral notes throughout.
