Blind Assessment
Floral-driven and luminous. White peach, lemon blossom, pink grapefruit zest, and cocoa nib in aroma and cup. Sparkling, high-definition acidity; silky, very smooth body. The finish is long and expressive, extending citrus and floral sweetness over a soft cocoa undertone.
Notes
Produced by Bekele Gemeda, from trees of local landrace varieties of Arabica long grown in the region, and processed by the washed method (fruit skin and pulp removed before drying). Imported by Cafe Imports. 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 beautifully articulated washed Yirgacheffe that highlights producer Bekele Gemeda’s meticulous production with radiant florals, precise acidity, and refined cocoa depth.
