Blind Assessment

Deeply aromatic, richly sweet-tart. Black cherry, honeysuckle, hazelnut butter, baking chocolate, tangerine zest in aroma and cup. Sweetly tart structure with fruit-toned, winy acidity; full, syrupy-smooth mouthfeel. Finish consolidates to notes of hazelnut and baking chocolate with support from black cherry.

Notes

Southern Ethiopia coffees like this one are largely produced from distinctive indigenous Ethiopian varieties of Arabica long grown in the region. This is a dry-processed or “natural” version, meaning the beans were dried inside the fruit rather than after the fruit has been removed, as is the case with washed coffees. JBC Coffee Roasters’ vision is simple: “let the coffee lead the way” through sourcing and roasting the best and most unique coffees available and rewarding the farmers who grow those coffees with substantial premiums.

Bottom Line

A complex, fruit-centered Guji cup with richly sweet floral and deep citrus and nut tones.
