Blind Assessment

Richly chocolaty, tangy-sweet. Pineapple kefir, dark chocolate, lychee, amber, lemon balm in aroma and cup. Brisk, sweet-tart structure; plush, creamy mouthfeel. Very complex, layered finish that carries over all the aroma and flavor notes of the cup.

Notes

Southern Ethiopia coffees like this one are largely produced from selections of traditional Ethiopian landrace varieties of Arabica long grown in the region. Processed by the natural anaerobic method in which the coffee is fermented in the whole fruit with limited access to oxygen before drying. Founded in 1990, Roadmap CoffeeWorks, formerly Lexington Coffee Roasters, is an award-winning artisan roasting company based in Lexington, Virginia.

Bottom Line

A flavor-laden anaerobic natural Ethiopia: lactic-tangy, chocolaty-sweet, citrusy and complex.
