91	Paradise Roasters Ramsey, Minnesota Ethiopia Sidamo Amaro Roast: Medium-Light Review Date: October 2009 Origin: Sidamo growing region, southern Ethiopia. Price: NA

Blind Assessment: Explosive aroma of tangerine and flowers. In the cup smooth mouthfeel, bright-toned yet balanced acidity and an extravagant fruit character with shifting cherry, stone fruit, floral and berry nuance. The fruit and sweetness prevail over a hint of salty astringency in the finish.

Notes: Certified organically grown, this coffee is processed with great care by Ethiopia's only female coffee mill owner, Asnakech Thomas, who pays high prices for ripe cherry from smallholders in Ethiopia's Amaro region. This coffee is dry-processed, meaning the beans were dried inside the fruit, producing a flavor profile that is lower-toned than the usual Ethiopia Sidamo profile, with deeper, wine-and berry-like fruit. Paradise Roasters prides itself on roasting and shipping coffee only after orders are placed. Its metaphoric mission is to bring some paradisiacal warmth from the coffee-growing south to the cool environs of Minnesota. Visit www.paradiseroasters.com or call 763-433-0626 for more information.
