Blind Assessment: Delicately sweet, bright-toned. Lemon zest, rhododendron, baking chocolate, fresh-cut fir, molasses in aroma and cup. Gentle, lively acidity; light, satiny mouthfeel. Lemon zest and chocolate carry into a sweet, gently drying finish.

Notes: Southern Ethiopia coffees like this one are produced from traditional Ethiopian varieties of Arabica long grown in the region. It was processed by the wet or washed method (fruit skin and pulp are removed before drying).
