    Lively Ethiopian espresso. A nice sweet chocolate aroma coming of the bag.

    Pulls with a light medium crema.

    Peachy with a strong earl grey tea note. A lot of brightness in the acidity, with some moderate complexity mouthfeel wise and a clean peach tea linger. Nicely inbounds from an acidity perspective.

    Cupping Method:Americanos and espressos. Did well on both.

More Details

Bean Source Country: Ethiopia
Widely regarded as the birthplace of coffee, Ethiopia boasts diverse and complex flavors, from bright, floral, and citrusy in Yirgacheffe to wine-like and berry-toned in Sidama. The country's heirloom varieties, combined with unique processing methods, make Ethiopian coffee truly distinctive and sought-after by enthusiasts worldwide.
Bean Source Region: Agaro
Agaro coffee is typically characterized by its bright acidity, rich body, and exquisite array of tasting notes that can include floral, citrus, and tropical fruit elements. The coffee's distinct and memorable flavor is a testament to the terroir of the Agaro region, where high elevations, fertile soil, and ideal climate conditions come together to create an ideal environment to produce a coffee with sweetness, acidity, and a rich aroma.
Espresso
Espresso is a concentrated coffee beverage brewed by forcing hot water through finely-ground coffee beans under high pressure. It is characterized by its rich flavor and distinctive crema, which is the creamy layer that forms on top of the extracted process. When evaluating espresso, coffee experts often focus on key tasting characteristics such as aroma, flavor, body, and aftertaste. Aroma refers to the fragrant smells released during brewing, while flavor encompasses the coffee's overall taste profile, including notes of sweetness, bitterness, acidity, and richness. Body refers to the coffee's texture or mouthfeel, with descriptors like full-bodied, medium-bodied, or light-bodied. Aftertaste, or the finish, pertains to the lingering flavors and sensations experienced after swallowing the coffee. A well-prepared espresso is prized for its balance and complexity, combining these sensory attributes into a harmonious whole.
