Product Description

Produces a fresh smelling coffee, sweet honey and simple syrup allusions are quite attractive in the ground coffee and a fragrant floral nectar note contrasts nicely. The wet aroma is delicate but with floral intensity. Honeysuckle and freesia florals are perfumed and complex and honey sweetness builds in the steam coming off the coffee. Light roasts are really where it's at with this coffee, constructing a light-and-bright cup that brings to mind the floral and tea-like qualities of what we think of as archetypal characteristics of coffee from the Yirga Cheffe region. Star jasmine and honeysuckle flowers come to mind when working through the coffee, a fragrant highlight that triggers a retronasal response. The cup shows abundant sweetness too in light roasts that when hot has the transparency of simple syrup or table sugar, shifting to more fragrant honey as the coffee cools off a bit.
