Horsham Coffee Roaster

The roasting looks great, more like a washed in appearance than a natural so perhaps a more yellow or white honey process after a 96 hour anaerobic fermentation.

So, a bit of lime with some citrus and a little nutty cocoa on the dry aroma, a bit of sponge cake and some florality at the break. The flavour is complex and layered starting with plenty of robust stone fruits, apricot, jasmine and rose florality into a tea like note, vibrant and clean with malic and soft citric acidity, a really lovely sponge cake sweetness too.

Blindfolded Im calling this as a washed Ethiopian; probably a Yirga or Guji. It has a lot of that vibe. Unsurprising given the varietal. The processing here has been judged superbly though to lift the sweetness and aromatics without taking away from the complex acidity and aromatics. The roasting is faultless too a really beautiful job all round. Balanced, sophisticated, aromatic and quite delicious.
