Tasting notes

One of the most anticipated coffees of the year! This zero defect Yirgacheffe is one of the cleanest and sweetest coffees that we get each year. This coffee comes from a cooperative of over 2,000 small farm holders. It is then hand sorted and screened for size to ensure that it is top scoring. VarietyVariety (cultivar)The botanical subtype of the coffee plant — Gesha, Bourbon, SL28 — analogous to grape varieties in wine. A major driver of cup character alongside origin and process.: HeirloomHeirloom (Ethiopia)A catch-all label for Ethiopia's thousands of indigenous, largely uncatalogued coffee varieties — used when a lot's exact genetics are unknown. Region: Yirgacheffe, Ethiopia Altitude: 2200 meters Process: WashedWashed processThe fruit is removed from the seed before drying, usually with fermentation and a water rinse. Tends to give clean, transparent cups where origin character shows clearly. We Taste: Lemon / Assam / Nectarine / HoneyHoney processThe skin is removed but some sticky fruit mucilage is left on during drying. Lands between washed and natural: more sweetness and body than washed, cleaner than natural.
