Blind Assessment

Fruit-driven, floral and chocolaty. Chocolate fudge, dried black cherry, lavender, amber, honey in aroma and cup. Sweet-tart structure with very bright acidity; plush, syrupy mouthfeel. The resonant finish consolidates to notes of chocolate and black cherry with amber undertones.

Notes

Produced by Sedaqa Olonso Qeka entirely from trees of the Zipa variety of Arabica, and processed by the anaerobic natural method, in which the coffee is fermented in the whole fruit with limited access to oxygen before drying. Theory Coffee Roasters is a specialty roaster and coffee shop based in Redding, California. Visit www.theorycoffee.com for more information.

Bottom Line

An intensely aroma- and flavor-saturated anaerobic-processed Ethiopia coffee: fruity, floral, richly chocolaty.
