Blind Assessment

Sweetly pungent; dense, layered complexity. Caramel, roasted cacao-nib, blueberry, narcissus, a hint of passion fruit in aroma and cup. Rich, rounded acidity; lightly smooth, silky mouthfeel. Blueberry and cacao nib in particular saturate a gently drying finish.

Notes

Nekisse is a proprietary type of Ethiopia coffee developed by Ninety Plus, a distinguished boutique exporter and importer of innovative small-lot coffees from Ethiopia and Panama. Grown near Neji in the Sidama/Sidamo growing region, this Ethiopian coffee is a dry-processed or “natural” coffee, meaning the beans were dried inside the fruit rather than after the fruit has been removed, as is the case with wet-processed or “washed” coffees. Barrington Coffee is an artisan roaster dedicated to elite coffees, fresh delivery and roasting that foregrounds the coffee and not the roast.

Who Should Drink It

An engagingly lush yet cleanly crisp, intricately layered version of the great Ethiopia natural or dried-in-the-fruit cup.
