    A lovely Ethiopian with some
    bite in the black tea note, and a grape, blueberry, and blackcurrant mid-palate. Smooth and pleasant mouthfeel with balance throughout. No fireworks but a nice origin roast.

    Very clean, even looking roast on variety sized heirloom beans.

    Cupping Method:I had a 15g sample and made it 17:1 at 92C with the Hario v60.

The country's heirloom varieties, combined with unique processing methods, make Ethiopian coffee truly distinctive and sought-after by enthusiasts worldwide.
