Origin: Yirgacheffe growing region, Sidamo Province, southern Ethiopia.

Notes: Yirgacheffe is a verdant region of hills in Sidamo Province in the south of Ethiopia that produces coffees admired for their intense distinctive floral, citrus and cocoa aromatics. Johnson Brothers Coffee Roasters is a distinguished small-batch roasting company. Visit www.johnsonbrotherscoffee.com or call 608-256-5282 for more information.

Blind Assessment: Crisp yet lush aromatics carry from nose to cup: cocoaish milk chocolate, aromatic wood, flowers, ripe orange. As the cup cools the fruit and flowers soften to a voluptuous peach. Delicate but rich acidity, leanish but silky mouthfeel, peach- and chocolate-saturated finish.

Who should drink it: Superb classic Yirgacheffe, extravagant yet smooth.
