Blind Assessment

Sweetly tart, floral-toned. Tea rose, raspberry coulis, cocoa nib, watermelon rind, almond brittle in aroma and cup. High-toned structure with winey acidity; crisply satiny mouthfeel. Exceptionally long, harmonious finish that exhilaratingly extends the promise of the cup.

Notes

Produced by smallholding farmers largely from trees of indigenous landrace varieties of Arabica long grown in the region, and processed by the natural anaerobic method, wherein whole fruit is fermented with limited oxygen before drying. Branch Street Coffee Roasters is a small-batch specialty coffee roaster in Youngstown, Ohio. Visit www.branchstreetcoffee.com for more information.

Bottom Line

A berry-driven anaerobic natural Ethiopia cup with an especially long, lingering finish — juicy, bright, balanced, floral.
