Blind Assessment

Delicately sweet-tart, cocoa-toned. Cocoa nib, pineapple, narcissus, musk, cedar in aroma and cup. Intricately sweet structure with bright acidity; crisp, velvety mouthfeel. The quiet finish consolidates to cocoa nib, narcissus and cedar.

Notes

Produced by smallholding farmers, from trees of the Wolisho, Kurume, 74110 and 74112 varieties of Arabica and processed at the Benti Nenka Washing Station by the natural method (dried in the whole fruit). Mellow is a café and nano-roastery located in Taipei, Taiwan that serves quality foods and superb coffee in a comfortable setting. Email [email protected] or call 886-2-2257-3961 for more information.

Bottom Line

A cleanly natural-processed Ethiopia cup driven by tropical fruit and floral tones, with cocoa nib as ballast throughout.
