This coffee won the Leaderboard Coffee Season 16 Audience Picks award. Because this is a prestigious specialty coffee game, we count this as a 5 star review.
I didn't dislike this as much as my wife did, but I think it's towards the bottom of the many specialty Ethiopians I had this year. It is definitely a little woody and herbal but it also has some nice peach and floral character. Perhaps some black tea and honeydew as well. It was definitely not as good as the Sey Ethiopian we cupped it side-by-side with.
Bland, no acidity, not fruity. Stick, tree trunk, herbal.
