Blind Assessment: Complex, bright, citrusy. Meyer lemon zest, cocoa nib, dried hibiscus flowers, marjoram, red plum in aroma and cup. Sweetly tart with crisp but juicy acidity; lightly viscous, satiny mouthfeel. Layered finish with citrus and cocoa at the center.

Notes: Produced by Ato Yidnekachew Seleshi from trees of the admired indigenous 74110 selection of Arabica and processed by the natural method (dried in the whole fruit). Paradise Roasters specializes in micro-lot Arabica and Robusta coffees from Asia and other emerging origins. The company prides itself on quality and freshness, craft-roasting coffees in small batches only after orders are placed. Visit www.paradiseroasters.com or call 763-433-0626 for more information.

The Bottom Line: A delicate, high-toned Ethiopia cup with sweet herb undertones, ethereal in its perfumy complexity.
