Blind Assessment: Delicately fruit-toned, floral. Strawberry, narcissus, lemon verbena, cocoa nib, cedar in aroma and cup. Sweet structure with gentle, round acidity; full, syrupy mouthfeel. The richly sweet finish consolidates to cocoa-toned narcissus and strawberry.
Notes: Certified USDA Organic. Yirgacheffe is a coffee region in southern Ethiopia that produces distinctive coffees from indigenous varieties of Arabica long grown in the region. This is a “natural” or dry-processed version, meaning the beans were dried inside the fruit, encouraging a flavor profile that is rounder and lower-toned than the more familiar wet-processed floral- and citrus-toned Yirgacheffe profile. The company name Amavida combines the Spanish words for love and life, reflecting Amavida’s multifaceted commitment to fairness and fine coffee.

The Bottom Line : A balanced, richly floral natural-processed Ethiopia cup redolent with sweet berry tones throughout the profile.
