Product Description

This wet process lot from Shantawene has the sweetness of ginger snap cookies in the dry grounds, light touches of sweet spice, honey and dried fruit. The wet aroma has honey appeal, not so much floral in a jasmine way like you might expect from Guji, but more of a raw honey like floral. It's incredibly sweet smelling and has the intensity of honey in the comb. This translates in the cup too ... a sweet honey base flavor that resonates in the finish (sweetness scored a whopping 9.6!). A vibrant citrus note shines bright, and with that intense underlying sweetness underneath, sweet citrus like honey tangerine and Valencia oranges (the juicing kind) come to mind. As the coffee cools off you do catch a glimpse of fresh flowers, perfumed accents of start jasmine and fresia, both potent flowers for sure, but not incredibly potent in comparison to the other cup highlights. Give it some time after brewing and darker fruit and berry flavors start to surface, as do soft baking spice finishing highlights. An incredibly clean Ethiopian coffee with competition level sweetness. This description is from the cupping notes of our coffee importer, Sweet Maria's
