Blind Assessment: Vibrant, richly chocolaty. Baking chocolate, orange grapefruit zest, apricot, almond, lemon-thyme in aroma and cup. Sweet-tart structure with brisk acidity; full, velvety mouthfeel. Citrusy, chocolate-toned finish with undertones of sweet herbs.
Notes: Produced from indigenous Ethiopian landrace tree varieties long grown in the region and processed by the washed method (fruit skin and pulp are removed before drying). What began as a bike-powered mobile coffee shop born out of founder Chris O’Brien’s love of cycling now has a permanent home in San Diego, where he roasts and serves coffee to guests.

The Bottom Line: A chocolaty, citrusy, sweetly herbaceous washed Ethiopia cup.
