Blind Assessment
Richly and deeply sweet. Molasses, dark chocolate, Asian pear and narcissus in aroma and cup. Bittersweet acidity; silky mouthfeel. Nut leads at the front of the short, richly drying finish.
Notes
The semi-arid highlands near the ancient east-Ethiopian walled city of Harrar has long produced traditional dried-in-the fruit or “natural” coffees like this one. Caffè Luxxe is an Italian-inflected artisan roaster and retailer that emphasizes both its coffee knowledge and precision and its straightforward lack of pretension.

Who Should Drink It
Those who appreciate crisp fruit in a chocolaty and subtly floral cup representing an ancient but rarely imported Ethiopian regional coffee type.
