Blind Assessment

Citrusy-sweet, high-toned. Dried nectarine, almond, candied violet, Meyer lemon, cedar in aroma and cup. Briskly tart, citric acidity; plush, syrupy-smooth mouthfeel. Very long, flavor-saturated finish that honors the promise of the cup.

Notes

Produced by Tamiru Tedesse and the smallholding farmers of Chilaka Village, entirely of the 74158 of Arabica, and processed by the natural method (dried in the whole fruit). Wonderstate Coffee, formerly Kickapoo Coffee, is an award-winning roaster based in rural Wisconsin known for its commitment to guaranteeing higher pay for farmers and operating the country’s first 100% solar-powered roastery. Visit wonderstate.com for more information.

Bottom Line

A richly aromatic, stone fruit-driven single-variety Ethiopia natural — clean, juicy, bright and richly sweet-tart.
