Blind Assessment

Elaborately rich and sweet. Candied lemon zest, cacao nib, jasmine, sandalwood in aroma and cup. Gentle, slightly bitter acidity; lightly silky mouthfeel. Resonant finish dominated by lemon zest in the short finish and cacao nib and frankincense in the long.

Notes

Yirgacheffe is a coffee region in southern Ethiopia that produces distinctive coffees from traditional varieties of Arabica long grown in the region. Yirgacheffe coffees like this one processed by the wet or washed method (fruit skin and pulp are removed before drying) typically express great aromatic complexity and intensity with a particular emphasis on floral notes. Like virtually all Ethiopia coffees, this coffee is produced by villagers on small, garden plots interplanted with food and other subsistence crops. Flight Coffee (formerly CQ Coffee Roasters) is a coffee-loving, quality-focused roasting company based in Bedford, New Hampshire.
