Product Description

The dry fragrance has a cooked brown sugar smell, rounded and sweet, and with whiffs of slab apricot and other dried fruits. The aroma has a clean raw sugar sweet smell and breaking through the crust releases more delicate floral and fruit notes. What a great cup; clean fruited flavors, zesty but not too bright, refreshing and mouth cleansing. At City roast level the coffee's sweetness is much more refined than the fragrance would leave you to believe, like simple syrup and white table sugar, and a tart lemon note is a cup highlight. Floral notes bring an elegant touch to the cup profile, perfumed lilac and jasmine notes adding a complex overlay. The cooling coffee sees fresh fruited notes hinting at flame grape and Meyer lemon at City roast, and a plump blueberry note in more developed roasts as well. I recommend sticking to the lighter end of the roast spectrum, partly because of Hana Asrat Tilhun's light body which doesn't bode well for propping up smokey roast tones in my opinion.
