Product Description

The dry fragrance has a delicate sweetness to it, that along with a clarified buttery smell in light roasts brings Danish pastries to mind, with faint fruit filling smells as well. There's a light floral touch in the wet aroma, with much more saturated dark sugar sweetness coming up off the wet crust. The flavor profile is a bit subdued, and the top notes sensed in brewed cups of my City roast take the form of fruit gum, creme caramels, and intimations of lemon herb tea. Floral notes have a light touch and give off a fresh hop aroma. City+ roasting bolsters sweetness quite a bit, and a nice pulpy orange note accents the cup. Acidity is moderate for Ethiopia, and citrus tartness provides a nice tangy aspect in the cup. I ran my City+ roast through the espresso machine and while tartness was distilled almost to the point of puckering, there was a surprising chocolate cookie flavor in this context that I didn't sense in the brewed coffee. I think Sadi Loya will prove too bright as espresso for a lot of people so I'm reluctant to give our recommendation, but I personally enjoy the tangy zip that comes with medium roasting.
