Blind Assessment
Very sweet, fruit-driven. Honeydew melon, Froot Loops cereal, cocoa nib, orange zest, oak in aroma and cup. Briskly sweet acidity; very full, syrupy mouthfeel. The finish is long, sweet, and fruit-toned.
Notes
Produced by smallholding farmers, from selections of traditional varieties of Arabica long grown in the region, and processed by the natural method (dried in the whole fruit) with the addition of wine yeasts in the drying process. Founded in 1994, Coffee By Design is a specialty coffee roaster in Portland, Maine that also operates three coffee shops in Portland. For more information, visit www.coffeebydesign.com.
Bottom Line
An exceptionally sweet, melony and cocoa-toned Ethiopia, a natural-processed coffee with yeast added during a 4-day ferment phase before final drying.
