Blind Assessment

Deep-toned, fruit-centered, richly aromatic. Dark chocolate, black cherry, star jasmine, oak, almond brittle in aroma and cup. Sweet-tart structure with crisp, lively acidity; plush, viscous mouthfeel. Finish centers around dark chocolate and black cherry.

Bottom Line

A deeply fruit-toned washed Ethiopia cup, brought far enough along in the roast to develop big chocolate notes.
