Blind Assessment: Floral-toned; delicately and sweetly bright. Honeysuckle-like flowers, candied citrus zest, rounding caramel and carob in aroma and cup. Tartly sweet, lively acidity; full, syrupy though buoyant mouthfeel. Flavor consolidates in a delicately drying finish.
Notes: This blend combines a washed or wet-processed Kenya coffee with two Ethiopia coffees, one a washed and one a dried-in-the-fruit “natural.” Namusairo is a boutique café and artisan roaster founded in Seoul, South Korea in 2002.
