Blind Assessment
Delicately sweet, berry-toned. Strawberry, honey roasted nuts, Ruby Port, balsa in aroma and cup. Sweetly brisk acidity; velvety mouthfee. Long, crisp finish with lingering berry and nut tones.
Notes
Produced by smallholding farmers, from heirloom varieties of Arabica long grown in the region, and processed by the natural method (dried in the whole fruit). Certifications: USDA Organic; Fair Trade USA. Red Rock Roasters was founded in Albuquerque, New Mexico in 1993 in a family barn and remains family-owned and focused on quality and freshness.

Bottom Line
A pretty, nimble natural-processed Ethiopia with hints of dessert wine as a subtle throughline.
