Blind Assessment: Delicately sweet-tart. Berry melange, pink peppercorn, honeysuckle, baker’s chocolate, lemon verbena in aroma and cup. Sweetly tart structure with crisp acidity; satiny-smooth mouthfeel. The herb-toned finish leads with notes of lemon verbena and red berries supported by baking chocolate.

Notes: Produced by Bedhatu Jibicho from trees of indigenous landrace varieties of Arabica long grown in the region, and processed by the natural method (dried in the whole fruit). Old World Coffee Lab is a specialty coffee roaster with cafes in Reno and Carson City, Nevada. Visit www.oldworldcoffee.co for more information.

The Bottom Line: A cocoa-toned natural-processed Ethiopia cup, deeply fruity and sweetly herbaceous.
