Blind Assessment
Bittersweet, cleanly fruit-toned. Dark chocolate, raspberry, pink grapefruit zest, almond butter, lilac in aroma and cup. Deeply sweet structure with brisk acidity; syrupy-smooth mouthfeel. The finish centers around notes of dark chocolate and raspberry.
Notes
The Yirgacheffe region produces distinctive coffees from traditional landrace varieties of Arabica long grown in the area. This is a “natural” or dry-processed version, meaning the beans were dried inside the fruit rather than after the fruit has been removed, as is the case with wet-processed or “washed” coffees. David's Nose Coffee is a specialty coffee roaster based in Taipei, Taiwan whose founder studied agronomy and has a deep interest in crop quality. For more information, visit www.dnose.com.tw.
Bottom Line
A complex, richly fruit-toned natural-processed Ethiopia cup with distinct dark chocolate notes throughout.
