Blind Assessment

Gently opulent, complex. Tangerine, roasted cacao nib, a hint of rum, complex floral notes (from sweet honeysuckle to crisp lavender) in aroma and cup. Gently tart acidity; syrupy, lively mouthfeel. Flavor consolidates around the chocolaty cacao nib and the tangerine in a rich, lasting finish.

Notes

A “natural” or dry-processed coffee, meaning the beans were dried inside the fruit, encouraging a flavor profile that is lower-toned and more richly pungent than the more familiar wet-processed floral- and citrus-toned southern Ethiopia profile. Organically grown and meticulously prepared by Asnakech Thomas, Ethiopia’s only female miller/exporter.Temple Coffee is a quality-focused retail and wholesale specialty roaster active in Sacramento, California since 2005.

Who Should Drink It

A fine, elegantly complex dried-in-the-fruit Ethiopia profile, with particularly complex floral notes and just a hint of rum-like spirits.
