Blind Assessment

Sweetly herbaceous, citrus-toned. Thyme, lemon balm, cocoa nib, freesia-like flowers, maple syrup in aroma and cup. Sweet-tart structure with balanced acidity; satiny-smooth mouthfeel. The finish leads with sweet herb notes supported by cocoa nib.

Notes

Produced by smallholding farmers from near the Banko Gotiti Washing Station from trees of indigenous landrace varieties of Arabica long grown in the region, and processed by the washed method (fruit skin and flesh are removed from the beans before they are dried). Old World Coffee Lab is a specialty coffee roaster with cafes in Reno and Carson City, Nevada. Visit www.oldworldcoffee.co for more information.

Bottom Line

An easygoing, confident washed Ethiopia cup animated by an appealing sweet herbaceousness.
