Blind Assessment

Radiant and intricately floral. White peach, bergamot, star jasmine, yuzu and cocoa nib in aroma and cup. Crystalline, high-definition acidity; lush, syrupy mouthfeel. The finish is long and layered, extending citrus blossom and delicate cocoa sweetness into the long.

Notes

Produced by smallholding farmers, from trees of local landrace varieties of Arabica, and processed by the washed method (fruit skin and pulp removed before drying). Imported by Linking Coffee. Dou Zhai Coffee & Roastery is a Taiwan-based specialty coffee roaster and cafe. Visit www.douzhaicafe.com for more information.

Bottom Line

A standout washed Sidama — precise, aromatic and beautifully composed, showcasing citrus brilliance and floral complexity with exceptional clarity throughout the profile.
