    This washed Ethiopian coffee bursts with tropical fruit intensity and complex sweetness, and has way more going on than your normal Ethiopian. The aroma is punchy and clean with mango, passion fruit, citrus, and floral notes, underpinned by musty white grape. The flavor follows with juicy mango, bright citrus, and crisp, lemony acidity on the finish. Lighter body, soft mouthfeel, and exceptional sweetness make this one of the better (maybe top 3?) Ethiopians this year.

More Details

Roast Level: Light
Light roast coffee is a delicately roasted coffee that retains more of the beans' natural flavors and characteristics. Light-roasted coffees have bright acidity, complex fruit, and floral notes. Light roast coffee does not have less caffeine than darker roasts because caffeine levels remain stable during roasting.
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.
