Blind Assessment: Gently fruit-forward, elegantly floral. Wild raspberry, cocoa nib, star jasmine, cashew butter, cedar in aroma and cup. Sweet-toned structure with delicately juicy acidity; very full, satiny mouthfeel. The finish consolidates to notes of cocoa-toned raspberry.

Notes: Produced by smallholding farmers surrounding the Odola TebeArowacho washing station, from local heirloom varieties of Arabica, and processed by the washed method. Imported by Catalyst Trade. RamsHead Coffee Roasters is a family-owned company founded by Bozeman, Montana natives Caleb and Laura Walker that specializes in direct trade microlot coffees.

The Bottom Line: A pretty, quietly confident washed Ethiopia cup that foregrounds notes of wild berries and spicy florals — elegant, exciting and inviting.
