Blind Assessment

Sweet, massively intricate. Richly complex floral notes, candied walnut, baker’s chocolate, papaya, more in aroma and cup. Brisk yet juicy acidity; plump, satiny mouthfeel. Rich, gently flavor-saturated finish.

Notes

Southern Ethiopia coffees like this one are produced from traditional Ethiopian varieties of Arabica long grown in the region. This is a “natural” or dry-processed version, meaning the beans were dried inside the fruit, encouraging a flavor profile that is less predictable and deeper than the more familiar wet-processed floral- and citrus-toned southern Ethiopia profile. Like virtually all Ethiopia coffees, this coffee is produced by villagers on small, garden plots interplanted with food and other subsistence crops.  Coffee Factorial, based in San Diego, is a coffee lab that works with wholesale, retail and subscription customers.

Who Should Drink It

Those who enjoy a complexly fruit and floral-toned yet cleanly balanced rendition of the great Ethiopia dried-in-the-fruit profile.
