Blind Assessment

Deeply sweet, seductively rich. Lemon drop, sandalwood, starfruit, black honey, fragrant thyme in aroma and cup. Juicy, rich acidity; billowy, silken mouthfeel. Black honey envelopes an herb-toned short finish; crisp lemon complicates the long.

Notes

Worka is one of twenty-three primary cooperatives located in the Gedeo Zone of Southern Ethiopia that together make up the Yirgacheffe Farmers Union. Yirgacheffe coffees like this one processed by the wet or washed method (fruit skin and pulp is removed before drying) typically express great aromatic complexity and intensity with a particular emphasis on citrus and floral notes. 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 particularly elegant Yirgacheffe cup, deeply and complexly nuanced.
