    Today this clean, easy-to-drink natural Ethiopian coffee that left a greatimpression. Its fruitiness was more pronounced than the funk typically associated with natural processes, almost giving it the clarity of a washed coffee. The flavor profile included delightful notes of strawberry, white grape, lavender, and bergamot. The acidity added a touch of brightness, making it a well-rounded cup. The florality was on the subtle side.

    While this coffee was close to a perfect score for me, it was narrowly edged out by another Ethiopian roast I tried the same day from Intelligentsia. The latter had an even greater clarity and brightness that I found particularly appealing. Nonetheless, this natural Ethiopian was an exceptional brew, showcasing the beautiful complexities of its origin.
