Blind Assessment

Elegantly fruit-toned, lactic-leaning. Mulberry, pineapple yogurt, cocoa nib, hop flowers, sandalwood in aroma and cup. Bittersweet structure with bright, winy acidity; plush, syrupy mouthfeel. Crisp finish with notes of pineapple yogurt and sandalwood.

Notes

Produced by smallholding farmers from local heirloom varieties long grown in the region, and processed by the Yonis family at the Gara Agena Washing Station by the anaerobic natural method, in which whole coffee fruit is fermented with limited oxygen before drying, also in the whole fruit. RamsHead Coffee Roasters is a family-owned company founded by Bozeman, Montana natives Caleb and Laura Walker that specializes in direct trade microlot coffees.

Bottom Line

An unabashedly fruit-forward anaerobic natural Ethiopia with the tangy, yogurt-like aromatics and flavor that often result from anaerobic fermentation; dark berry fruit, cocoa nib and bittersweet florals round out the profile.
