Blind Assessment

Stone fruit-driven, cocoa- and floral-toned. Narcissus, cocoa nib, Bing cherry, lychee, bergamot in aroma and cup. High-toned, sparkling acidity; silky, delicate mouthfeel. Very long, focused finish that carries over all the aroma and flavor notes of the cup.

Notes

Produced by smallholding farmers, entirely of local landrace varieties of Arabica, and processed by the washed method (fruit skin and pulp removed before drying). JBC Coffee Roasters’ vision is simple: “Let the coffee lead the way” through sourcing and roasting the best coffees available and rewarding the farmers who grow those coffees with substantial premiums.

Bottom Line

This lovely washed Ethiopia is all about stone fruit, both in the nose and in the cup. There’s bing cherry at the tart end and lychee at the sugary end, with crisp cocoa nib and a sweet herbaceousness as ballast.
