Blind Assessment: Complex, delicate, richly sweet. Star jasmine, pink grapefruit zest, nectarine, sandalwood, bay leaf in aroma and cup. Crisp, sweetly tart structure with bright acidity; silky-smooth, vibrant mouthfeel. Grapefruit, nectarine and cashew notes lead in the multi-layered finish.

Notes: Yirgacheffe is a coffee region in southern Ethiopia that produces distinctive coffees from traditional varieties of Arabica long grown in the region. Processed by the traditional washed method (fruit skin and pulp are removed before drying). Buon Caffe is a specialty coffee roaster and cafe in Taipei, Taiwan.
