This Ethiopian coffee leans toward the darker end of the specialty spectrum, landing firmly in the medium-dark range. It performs best as espresso, where the roast profile brings forward depth and structure rather than high florality.
The cup shows good smoothness for a roast at this level, with darker aromatics leading the profile. Notes of bergamot and light smoky spice appear up front, followed by a restrained blackberry character through the midpalate. As with many Ethiopian coffees taken this far roast wise, some of the brighter floral elements are muted, reinforcing the roast-driven character over origin expression. But it is present.
Chocolate tones provide a solid foundation and carry into a moderately long finish. The crema is medium and reasonably persistent, contributing to a smooth, slightly weighty mouthfeel. Bean uniformity is good, and the roast avoids excessive oil development.
Overall, this is a great medium-dark Ethiopian that balances depth and drinkability, though it stops short of delivering the clarity or complexity found in top-tier examples of the style.
This shows considerable skill from the roaster as Ethiopians are a fine balance when roasting darker.
