Blind Assessment
Intense, sweet, juicy, intricate. Strawberry, blueberry, complex flowers (citrus blossom, lavender), pear cider, roasted almond in aroma and cup. Bright, vivacious acidity; light, buoyant, almost effervescent mouthfeel. Flavor saturates a gently drying finish.
Notes
This is a very refined version of 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. This coffee was carefully mixed from a variety of small lots by the Ninety Plus Field Director in Ethiopia, Semeon Abay. Ninety Plus is a distinguished boutique producer and importer of innovative small-lot coffees from Ethiopia and Panama.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
A particularly intense, sweetly juicy, vividly complex version of the Ethiopian natural profile for those with substantial coffee budgets.
