Blind Assessment

Crisply sweet, delicate yet opulent. Cocoa powder, lilac-like flowers, roasted cashew, blueberry, sandalwood in aroma and cup. Sweetly and gently tart in structure; vibrant. In mouthfeel soft, lightly plush. Lilac and cocoa in particular carry into a rich though rather dry and woody finish.

Notes

Coffees like this one from the celebrated Yirgacheffe region are largely produced from distinctive traditional Ethiopian varieties of Arabica long grown in the region. This is a dry-processed or “natural” 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. Aether Coffee sources specialty coffees from all over the world and prioritizes quality and customer experience to create the perfect cup.

Bottom Line

The “natural” or dried-in-the fruit processing develops an impressively light-footed yet cleanly lush version of the flowers, cocoa and fruit character of this fine Yirgacheffe.
