Blind Assessment

Delicately floral, sweetly citrusy. Apricot, key lime, lemongrass, chamomile, graphite in aroma and cup. Juicy, citric acidity; liltingly silky mouthfeel. Bright and satisfying finish centered around notes of key lime and chamomile, complicated by distinct minerally graphite.

Notes

Produced by smallholding farmers, entirely of the 74158 variety of Arabica, and processed by the washed method (fruit skin and pulp removed before drying). 1980 Cafe is a Tainan City, Taiwan-based specialty coffee roaster. Visit www.1980cafetw.com for more information.

Bottom Line

An inviting single-variety washed Ethiopia with floral-citrus complexity that delivers a classic cup — come for the floral-citrus dance and stay for the minerally graphite throughline.
