90	Flying Goat Coffee Healdsberg, California Ethiopia Sidamo Koratie Dry Process Roast: Medium-Light Review Date: September 2008 Origin: Sidamo growing region, southern Ethiopia. Price: NA

Blind Assessment: Sweet berry-toned aroma with deepening hints of aromatic wood. Balanced sweet, winy acidity, with a smooth and syrupy mouthfeel. Concentrated dried blueberry and a fruit punch-like sweetness in the cup are balanced by a slightly musty note that reads as pleasant nuttiness. Long, dry finish with lingering notes of nut and cedar.

Notes: This coffee is certified organically grown and Rainforest Alliance certified, meaning it was produced following sustainable ecological and socio-economic criteria developed by the Sustainable Agricultural Network, a coalition of independent, environment-focused non-governmental organizations. Unlike the majority of Ethiopia coffees imported to North America, which are processed by the more orthodox wet or washed method, this is a dry-processed or "natural" coffee, meaning the beans are dried inside the fruit rather than after the fruit is removed, as is the case with wet-processed coffees. When all goes well and the fruit dries relatively cleanly, with only slight mildew or ferment, this ancient procedure can add lush, berry-toned sweetness to the beans, as it does here.

Who Should Drink It: Those who enjoy a lushly fruity, mildly pungent cup with excellent environmental credentials.
