Blind Assessment

Deeply sweet, fruit-forward, gently floral. Blueberry, honey, jasmine, cocoa powder, and lemon zest in aroma and cup. Balanced acidity; plush, velvety-smooth body. The finish is long and clean, with sustained berry and cocoa notes.

Notes

Produced by smallholding farmers, from heirloom varieties of Arabica long grown in the region, and processed by the natural method (dried in the whole fruit) at the Gora Kone Washing Station. Temple Coffee is a quality-focused retail and wholesale specialty roaster that has been active in Sacramento, California, since 2005. Committed to sourcing, roasting and brewing the finest coffees, Temple features selections from distinguished single estates and cooperatives around the world. Visit  www.templecoffee.com or call 916-454-1282 for more information.  

Bottom Line

A lush and balanced natural Ethiopia — classic Sidamo fruit depth and floral complexity supported by rich sweetness.
