Blind Assessment: Balanced, richly fruit-forward. Lychee, cocoa nib, wisteria, maple syrup, pistachio brittle in aroma and cup. Brightly sweet with delicately juicy acidity; silky-smooth mouthfeel. Finish consolidates to notes of cocoa-toned tropical fruit and pistachio.

Notes: Produced by smallholding farmers and processed at the Hamasho Washing Station from 74110, 74112 and other local varieties of Arabica. Paradise Roasters specializes in micro-lot Arabica and Robusta coffees from Asia and other emerging origins.

The Bottom Line: Juicy, fruity and cocoa-toned, this washed Sidama cup offers simultaneous balance and excitement.
