Blind Assessment

Deeply and immaculately sweet. Blueberry, spearmint, violet, dark chocolate, clove in aroma and cup. Juicy, fruity acidity; satiny mouthfeel. The richly drying, resonant finish centers around blueberry notes enveloped in clove.

Notes

Yirgacheffe is a coffee region in southern Ethiopia that produces distinctive coffees from traditional varieties of Arabica long grown in the region. Most Yirgacheffe coffee is prepared by the conventional wet method, in which the skin and pulp are removed from the beans or seeds before they are dried, encouraging a cleanly high-toned, often intensely floral- and citrus-toned cup. This Yirgacheffe is a “natural” or dry-processed version, however, meaning the beans/seeds were dried inside the fruit, encouraging a deeper-toned profile, more pungent than bright, though still extravagant in its aromatics. This striking coffee was developed and brought into the U.S. by boutique exporter/importer Ninety Plus Coffee. Roasting Room is a quality-focused roaster in Taiwan.

Bottom Line

A lovely rendition of the lush berry and spice flavors associated with the best natural-process southern Ethiopia coffees.
