Blind Assessment

Tropically fruity, richly chocolaty. Dried blueberry, lychee, chocolate fudge, cedar, wisteria in aroma and cup. Brightly sweet-tart structure with winy acidity; plush, very viscous mouthfeel. Long, resonant, flavor-saturated finish.

Notes

Produced at Gera Estate from trees of selections of indigenous landrace varieties of Ethiopia Arabica, and processed by the natural anaerobic method, wherein whole fruit is fermented with limited oxygen before drying. Magnolia Coffee is a Charlotte-based specialty roaster whose mission is to use sustainably sourced coffees to make a difference in the lives of coffee workers and to foster a socially conscious community with cause-supporting coffees. Visit www.magnoliacoffeeco.com for more information.

Bottom Line

A dessert-like Ethiopia anaerobic natural: chocolaty, fruit-driven and deep, evocative of a tropical fruit melange, with vibrant acidity and lush body.
