Blind Assessment

Suavely bright, quietly lively, balanced. Tangerine, hazelnut, cedar, cashew, floral vanilla in aroma and cup. Sweetly tart in structure; roundly bright acidity. Plush, buoyant mouthfeel. Impressive finish: deep, layered, vanilla with cedar and tangerine back notes.

Notes

Produced by smallholding farmers from the Kurume and Welicho selections of Ethiopia landrace varieties of Arabica, and processed at the Raro Boda washing station by the traditional washed method (fruit skin and flesh are removed from the beans before they are dried). St1 Cafe and Work Room is based in Tainan City, Taiwan, offering customers top-quality coffee in a cafe environment conducive to remote work. Visit www.st1cafe.com for more information.

Bottom Line

Complex vanilla and floral suggestions emerge in a softly lively structure.
