This coffee hits all the classic Ethiopian notes, but with a level of nuance that really sets it apart. The floral jasmine and honeysuckle are vivid but never overpowering.
There's a distinct peach iced tea vibe that brings both fruitiness and clarity, with subtle hints of blueberry and Concord grape weaving through.
The sweetness is big, the mouthfeel silky, and the small, dense beans say a lot about how carefully this was grown and roasted. Maybe best Ethiopian I've had this year, refined, expressive, and just really well done.
I'll note that I think this is one of the hardest roasts to pull off. A light roast teeny tiny Ethiopian beans and subtle flavors. Very impressed.Cupping Method:93C, 17:1 in Hario v60 was great
