    I enjoyed this, Ethiopian myself, though I could see why my partner didnt love it. It is pretty grapefruity mid-palate. In between black tea and milk chocolate platform. Otherwise, its smooth and has a really nice mouthfeel.

    Cupping Method:V60 pourover 205F. I have some leftover and might try a lower temp to see if I can V to like it.

More Details

Roast Level: Light Medium
A Light Medium Roast coffee, sometimes referred to as a "City Roast" or "American Roast," lies between a light and medium roast. This roast level strikes a balance by preserving the coffee bean's unique characteristics while allowing for a moderate development of body and flavor. The beans have a medium brown color, exhibiting a slight sheen of oils, providing a more balanced and nuanced flavor profile. A Light Medium Roast typically highlights the coffee's inherent fruity, floral, or citrus notes, while also providing some of the deeper, richer flavors associated with medium roasts.
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.
Bean Source Region: Yirgacheffe
Yirgacheffe, a micro-region within Sidama in Ethiopia, grows coffee highly sought after for its complex, bright, and fruity flavor profile. Yirgacheffe coffee often exhibits citrus, berries, and jasmine notes, vibrant acidity, and a delicate, tea-like body. This region mainly produces heirloom Arabica varietals, which are indigenous to Ethiopia and possess a rich genetic diversity. Some specific varietals grown in Yirgacheffe include Kurume, Dega, and Wolisho, which are revered for their distinctive characteristics and contribute to the coffee's unique taste.
Organic
Organic coffee is produced without synthetic chemicals, such as pesticides, herbicides, and artificial fertilizers. Instead, organic coffee farmers rely on natural and sustainable agricultural practices like crop rotation, composting, and biological pest control. To be labeled as organic, coffee must meet strict regulations and certification criteria set by governing bodies, such as the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) or the European Union (EU). Organic coffee not only supports environmental sustainability but may also offer health benefits, as it contains fewer chemical residues than conventionally grown coffee.
Fair trade
Fair-trade coffee refers to coffee beans that are produced, traded, and sold following a set of ethical and social standards designed to ensure fair treatment of farmers and workers in the coffee industry. Fair Trade organizations work to create a more equitable global trade model by prioritizing the well-being of small-scale coffee producers and farm workers, primarily in developing countries.
