Blind Assessment

Richly sweet, cocoa-toned. Dark chocolate, dried apricot, hazelnut, freesia-like flowers, maple syrup in aroma and cup. Balanced, sweet structure with high-toned acidity; satiny-smooth mouthfeel. The finish is crisply chocolaty with undertones of dried apricot and hazelnut.

Notes

Southern Ethiopia coffees like this one are largely produced from distinctive indigenous Ethiopian landrace varieties of Arabica long grown in their respective regions. This is a dry-processed or “natural” version, meaning the beans were dried inside the fruit rather than after the fruit has been removed, as is the case with wet-processed or “washed” coffees. Buon Caffe is a specialty coffee roaster and cafe in Taipei, Taiwan. Visit www.buoncaffe.com.tw for more information.

Bottom Line

A balanced, inviting natural-processed Ethiopia with leading notes of cocoa-toned fruit and spice-toned florals.
