Blind Assessment: Delicately sweet-tart. Apricot, cocoa nib, hazelnut, Meyer lemon zest, hyacinth in aroma and cup. Sweetly tart structure with vibrant, citrusy acidity; smooth, satiny mouthfeel. Cocoa-toned finish supported by notes of stone fruit and sweet citrus zest.

Notes: Produced by Aklilu Taye of Gera Farm and processed by the washed method (fruit skin and flesh are removed from the beans before drying). Jade Cafe is a specialty nano-roaster based in Taipei, Taiwan. Visit https://www.facebook.com/jadecafe19930822/ for more information.

The Bottom Line: A classic washed Ethiopia cup: balanced, bright and vibrant, with throughlines of stone fruit and cocoa nib.
