    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.

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.
