Willoughby's Coffee & Tea

Ethiopia Yirgacheffe

Willoughby's Coffee & Tea Logo
Roaster Location: Branford, Connecticut
Roast Level: Medium-Dark
Agtron: 49/52
Review Date: March 1997
Aroma: 7
Acidity : 8
Body: 7
Flavor: 8

Blind Assessment: Floral and vanilla tones hover in the high-toned acidity, exciting without distracting. The acidity is authoritative despite its floral delicacy and the body surprisingly substantial, although the entire profile loses momentum in the finish.

Notes: Floral and vanilla tones hover in the high-toned acidity, substantial body.  Visit www.willoughbyscoffee.com or call 800-388-8400 for more information.

Who Should Drink It : People who can't walk past a rose without sticking their noses in it. Drip-brew this coffee and enjoy it immediately, before the perfumes vanish. A Yirgacheffe like this one, with its complex floral tones, has to be one of the world's most striking coffees.
