Blind Assessment

Crisp, deeply and subtly floral. Lilac, lavender, sandalwood, sweet lime in aroma and cup. Delicate, sweetly bright acidity; light but plump mouthfeel. Flavor consolidates in a quietly resonant finish.

Notes

Oromia is a coffee region in southern Ethiopia that produces distinctive coffees from traditional varieties of Arabica long grown in the region. Yirgacheffe coffees like this one processed by the wet or washed method (fruit skin and pulp are removed before drying) typically express great aromatic complexity and intensity with a particular emphasis on floral notes. Like virtually all Ethiopia coffees, this coffee is produced by villagers on small, garden plots interplanted with food and other subsistence crops. Big Creek Coffee Roasters is a small, quality-oriented batch roaster located in Montana’s Bitterroot Valley. Visit www.bigcreekcoffeeroasters.com or call 406-375-7508 for more information.

Who Should Drink It

Those who value subtlety and resonance in a gently roast-rounded, sweetly bright and floral wet-processed Ethiopia.
