Blind Assessment: Passion fruit, dark chocolate, frankincense, wisteria, sandalwood in aroma and cup. Richly sweet-tart structure with high-toned, juicy acidity; plush, syrupy mouthfeel. Lasting, flavor-saturated finish with nuanced layers of fruit and florals into the long.

Notes: This exceptional coffee was selected as the No. 18 coffee on Coffee Review’s list of the Top 30 Coffees of 2021. Produced by Tamiru Tadesse Tasema entirely of the 74158 variety of Arabica, and processed by a controlled natural method that involves drying a single layer of coffee slowly, at high altitude, for 27 days. Taster’s Coffee is a nano-roaster based in new Taipei City, Taiwan. Visit www.tasterscoffee.com for more information.

The Bottom Line: Focused, elegant, high-toned, juicy: a complex, integrated, tropical fruit- and floral-toned single variety natural-processed Ethiopia cup.
