Blind Assessment

Delicate, richly aromatic, distinctively high-toned. Bergamot, jasmine, Meyer lemon zest, cocoa nib, praline in aroma and cup. Sweetly tart, floral structure with juicy, balanced acidity; silky, buoyant mouthfeel. Long, juicy, satisfying finish.

Notes

Produced by smallholding farmers and processed by the full washed method at Ayele Tulu’s Demeka Becha washing station. Imported by Catalyst Trade. Established in 2010, Red Rooster is an organic-certified micro roaster focusing on socially conscious, high-quality coffee. Visit redroostercoffee.com or call 540-745-7338 for more information.

Bottom Line

A Red Rooster exclusive coffee, and one worth seeking out: a classic washed Ethiopia profile with generous floral and complex citrus notes supported by crisp cocoa nib.
