Blind Assessment
Fruit-forward but restrained. Notes of blueberry, dried cherry, cocoa powder, marzipan and cedar. Acidity is sweet-toned and rounded; velvety-smooth mouthfeel. Berry and cocoa powder taper into gentle cedar notes in the finish.
Notes
Produced by Mengeche Derso, from local landrace varieties of Arabica, and processed by the natural method (fruit skin and pilp 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
A well-executed natural Yirgacheffe with ripe fruit and cocoa — harmonious and accessible. A great starter natural for those unfamiliar with the genre.
