Blind Assessment

Sweet, deep, complexly fruit-toned. Tangerine, plum, fresh tobacco, hints of brandy and lily in aroma and cup. Round, resonant acidity; full, syrupy mouthfeel. Flavor consolidates in a sweet, cleanly brandy-toned finish.

Notes

Yirgacheffe is a coffee region in southern Ethiopia that produces distinctive coffees from traditional varieties of Arabica long grown in the region. This is a “natural” or dry-processed 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. Like virtually all Ethiopia coffees, this coffee is produced by villagers on small, garden plots interplanted with food and other subsistence crops. GreenAlives is a small-batch roasting company located in the Taishan District of New Taipei City, Taiwan that pursues quality in every act of coffee production from green coffee selection through storage, roasting and educating customers in optimum brewing practice.

Who Should Drink It

Those who value the older style of big, fruit- and brandy-toned dry-processed or “natural” coffees: juicy but clean.
