Blind Assessment

Fruit-toned, richly sweet. Strawberry, sandalwood, narcissus-like flowers, nougat, lemon verbena in aroma and cup. Sweet-tart structure with vibrant, juicy acidity; plush, creamy mouthfeel. Resonant finish that consolidates around strawberry and nougat with hints of sandalwood.

Notes

A blend of two Ethiopia coffees, a washed-process Kochere Saona and a natural-process Yirgacheffe. This coffee tied for the highest rating in a tasting of holiday blends for Coffee Review‘s December 2019 tasting report. Plat Coffee is a specialty roaster and café in Hong Kong. For more information, visit www.platcoffee.com.

Bottom Line

A bright, balanced blend of natural- and washed-process Ethiopia coffees, each contributing to the cup’s impressive depth and range of sensory pleasures.
