Blind Assessment

Richly fruit-toned and resonant. Aromas and flavors of blueberry compote, red grape, cocoa nib, candied kimquat, and violet. Sweetly tart acidity; syrupy-smooth mouthfeel. Long finish with deep fruit and floral notes balanced by grounding chocolate.

Notes

Produced at Gera Estate, from trees of local landrace varieties of Arabica, and processed by the natural anaerobic method, wherein whole fruit is fermented with limited oxygen before drying. Oak & Bond is a specialty retail and wholesale coffee roaster based in Charlotte, North Carolina. The company’s name combines “oak,” a reference to its first coffee, a barrel-aged release, and “bond,” referring to the founders’ happy marriage.

Bottom Line

A striking anaerobic Ethiopia that showcases the processing style’s fruit-saturated exuberance while maintaining poise and clarity.
