Blind Assessment: Balanced; richly bittersweet. Tangerine zest, cocoa nib, date, magnolia, cedar in aroma and cup. Delicately sweet structure with gentle acidity; smooth, silky mouthfeel. Cocoa- and citrus-toned finish.

Notes: Produced by Bedhatu Jibicho 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.

The Bottom Line: A friendly, balanced Ethiopia cup with pretty citrus and cocoa notes throughout.
