Blind Assessment

Delicate, richly sweet. Plum, roasted cacao nib, butterscotch, wisteria, tangerine zest in aroma and cup. Crisp, lively, attractive acidity; silky mouthfeel. The flavor-saturated, sweetly tart finish centers around fruit (plum) and floral (wisteria) tones in the short and cocoa-toned citrus in the long.

Notes

Southern Ethiopia coffees like this one are produced from traditional Ethiopian varieties of Arabica long grown in the region. When processed by the wet or washed method (fruit skin and pulp are removed before drying) they typically express great aromatic complexity and intensity with a particular emphasis on floral notes. Like virtually all southern Ethiopia coffees, this coffee is produced by villagers on small, garden plots interplanted with food and other subsistence crops. This coffee tied for the second-highest rating in a cupping of coffees from roasting companies in the Southwestern United States (Arizona, New Mexico, Texas) for Coffee Review‘s March 2017 tasting report. Presta Coffee Roasters is a largely wholesale coffee roaster based in Tucson, Arizona. Visit www.squareup.com/store/prestacoffee for more information.

Bottom Line

An intricately composed, delicate, crisply sweet Ethiopia with zesty citrus tones throughout.
