Blind Assessment
Sweet, crisp, cocoa- and brandy-toned. Blueberry, cocoa, brandy, wisteria-like flowers in aroma and deeply sweet cup. Round, straightforward acidity; light yet buoyantly lively mouthfeel. Fruit, brandy and cocoa all carry into a sweet, rich, ringingly long finish.
Notes
Oromia 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. JBC Coffee Roasters’ vision is simple: “let the coffee lead the way” through sourcing and roasting the best and most unique coffees available and rewarding the farmers who grow those coffees with substantial premiums.

Who Should Drink It
Those who enjoy a classic dried-in-the-fruit, “natural” profile, fruit-and-brandy-saturated but clean finishing.
