The smells in the dry grounds are a little murky at first, and it isn't til pouring hot water that you start to get a sense of what's to come in the cup. This Ethiopia is certainly another uniquely fruited decaf, and the lighter roasts are particularly notable for showing origin character. There's a slight 'decaf' smell when pouring hot water, like chocolate malted bread, but accompanied by really sweet smells of cooked stone fruits too. The flavors in the cup are undoubtedly fruited when sticking to the lighter end of the roast range, and red fruit flavors help to reinforce a juiciness in the mouthfeel. Notes of stewed peach, baked pear come to mind, along with other aspects of fruit compotes. Again, I pick up on the sort of bready aspect that a lot of decafs produce (pumpernickel bread dough comes to mind), Guji Gorbeti lives up to the flavor expectations of dry process Guji coffees!
