Blind Assessment

Elegant, crisply sweet. Jasmine, nougat, blood orange, mango, frankincense in aroma and cup. Sweet, softly juicy acidity; satiny-smooth mouthfeel. The finish resonates with frankincense and mango; hints of jasmine in the long.

Notes

Southern Ethiopia produces distinctive coffees from traditional heirloom 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. Certified organic. Founded in 1990, Lexington Coffee is an award-winning artisan roasting company based in Virginia. Lexington’s focus on fresh, flavorful and sustainable coffee is reflected in its motto, “Fresh, Flavorful & Fair.” Visit www.lexingtoncoffee.com or call 800-322-6505 for more information.

Bottom Line

A paradoxically juicy-crisp Ethiopia cup, both delicately sweet and bracingly crisp.
