My wife said, “strawberry, blueberry, and then dirt” and I think that's fair. With Ethiopians you don't usually get earthiness but I think that's what it is at the end of the palate here. I'd call it a neutral trait here but not quite when you'd want it. The coffee also has a tea overtone and a smooth mouthfeel with good natural sweetness.Cupping Method:PDX Advent Calendar. V60, 18:1, 92C. There was one quaker (pictured) I did not factor into scoring.
