Undoubtedly, one of the better decaf coffees I've ever had. Very smooth and naturally sweet with strawberry, brown sugar, and strong black tea notes. It has a slightly herbal undertone with a slight mintiness.Cupping Method:This coffee came from Bean Archives. Best was 18:1, 92C on v60.

What sets this coffee apart from traditional Ethiopian offerings is its sensational mouthfeel. It is full, silky, and sweet, almost like glycerine, yet never cloying. The cup is exceptionally clean, with layered notes of blueberry and peach that are bright but balanced. I also picked up just the right amount of black tea and jasmine, adding depth without overwhelming the cup. This is a standout execution of a classic profile, one that seems harder to find these days.Cupping Method:93C, 17:1 on v60 worked well. Got this from Bean Archives.
