This washed processed coffee from Ethiopia will serve as a great introduction to an Ethiopian light roast for both the African coffee fans and anyone interested in giving one a try for the first time.
While not a strong fruit flavored coffee, it starts off with a soft grape, lemon and melon tint paired with a buttery texture and a subtle complexity. The overall flavor is fairly easy going while offering a floral and creamy finish. There's no mistaking that this is a light African coffee but it won't overwhelm the senses or twist your stomach with an acidic twist.
WHERE THIS COFFEE WORKS
While you shouldn't expect a fruit forward taste from this coffee, you'll still get a great cross section of African flavors. Coffee from the Sidamo region will not be the sharpest or acidic in nature but still provide a good gateway to the Ethiopian offerings.
